Sunday, Dec. 2

Up around 7:30 on this unusually warm day, but skipped my exercises after breakfast, as I usually do on Sunday. While I got ready for the day, Hubbie accompanied Mother to our house. We didn't do much for the rest of the morning.

Son and Daughter-in-Law arrived around 11 a.m., and at noon, we had soups and sandwiches, plus pound cake topped with cherries and fat-free whipped topping.

Spent the afternoon visiting, until time to go to the Festival of Lessons and Carols. Mother opted to stay home and take a nap while we were gone.

This year's service included a flute choir, a bagpiper, outstanding singers (soprano, contralto, and mezzo-soprano), and a woman who whistled the "Pat-a-pan" tune.

The service also included nine Biblical lessons, which were interspersed with music and songs. The congregation participated in singing "The First Noel," and "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."

The service lasted until 5:30, so shortly after we returned home following the service, Son and Daughter-in-law headed home.

Hubbie, Mother, and I, had leftover soups and sandwiches for supper, and then around 7 p.m., Hubbie accompanied Mother to her house.

We finished the evening watching TV, including the 2001 suspense movie, "Joy Ride." A couple of young men tease a truck driver, who turns out to be a psychotic killer. The killer pursues them, and eventually captures the young woman who is traveling with them. How can they save the girl, and escape themselves?

Note: Yay! Our e-mail service is finally back.
