I think an afternoon post might be a rather optimistic thing.
.
The girls & I went to Paducah last night. On the way, I filled the gas tank. We went to a couple of stores and I spent about $30 each at 2 department stores. OOOH NOOO, how scandalous!! My MasterCard company went on alert & declined all future purchases. Isn’t that crazy? We have about $2000 of credit and can’t spend more than $100 in a day? If I had more energy, I’d call and complain. These companies are all so smart. They drive us crazy, pressing 1, then 0, then 1 again, then 2… just so we can sit on hold another 5 minutes, have a representative get on the phone and make us repeat everything we just pressed 1′s for.
Okay, that isn’t terribly optimistic. Let’s get back on track.
The girls and I had a nice time together. Nothing crazy, just good. The plan for today is to run errands and go to appointments all morning. (done, check it off the list). For lunch, we had cheesy rice, carrots, and corn. Plus, Jerry had a grilled pork chop & the rest of us had bacon-wrapped Filet Mignon. The afternoon included a vet appointment for Hannah’s puppies, a cookie delivery to Joey, and wrapping some presents and making out some cards.

It is late afternoon now & we are getting ready to open our family Christmas presents. Last bit of eating will be our lazy day desserts — Banana Cream Pie and Chocolate-Covered Cream Puffs.

There might not be any colored lights or pine branches at our house… but there is much goodwill and loving worship of our Messiah. A celebration unlike any previous year. But, I think it is okay.

Thank you Jesus! Fall on your knees. All praise to the King.
