The Beginning

We had devised this blog to use while away from home, but find that life is busy here at home and hopefully this will allow all of the family to know what is happening here.

Yesterday was a busy day, we enjoyed a walk behind the Allis Chalmer

Church. A delicate light snow had fallen the night before making the sight of the pine trees a delight to behold. We found the perfect "Charlie Brown" tree for my house and a much fuller fir for Lou to put up in his living room. We got back to his house about dark and he quickly put his tree into the tree stand and we moved living room furniture around to accommodate the tree at it's spot for display in front of the bow window. Hopefully, today we will be able to get the lights on it so it can be seen from the road. He put the decorated sled on the front porch where the fall wreath had been displayed.

We hurried home to make a huge salad for our dinner and quickly changed our clothes and back to Whitneyville to attend an Open House at the church parsonage. As usual, we were the last ones to arrive, however; we were able to have a lovely chat with our pastor and his wife. They have the parsonage beautifully decorated for the holidays.

Today we have a Christmas Party, at the home of one of the couples that we square dance with, at 3:00 pm and a concert at the high school at 7:00 pm.

Someplace during the day we would like to decorate two Christmas trees. Time will tell...
