I just got back from playing Christmas songs while my friend Laura sang. I have known Laura since before she was born. She was my son's friend until my daughter came along and the two of them have forged a sister-like bond, as neither of them were blessed with sisters, until they each got a sister-in-law. Their sisters-in-law are friends also. I just think that is really cool.
Laura and Daughter have been coming over on Wednesday's for the past few weeks to work on Christmas gifts. Well, Laura and I have been working, Daughter just whines about how much she hates crafty stuff. She's busy growing a baby, so we excuse her from particapating. And, by the way, it is obvious today that Baby has dropped as she has a totally new look about her.
Anyway...while Laura finished up her snowman snowglobes and gift jars with apron's I attempted to make some Sculpey pins. Laura's projects are complete and ready to wrap, mine look sad. And, like they need something more, but I don't know what.
It all seemed like such a good idea when I started. Now, I'm not exactly sure what to do with them. I have drawers and boxes full of things that seemed like a good idea at the time, but that now I cannot think of a thing to do with them.
Oh, well.
We ended our day by going over to church to sing Christmas song. This was made difficult by the simple fact that my left hand is almost totally numb. It made for some interesting piano playing.
Anyway, we do a fabulous rendition of "Angels from the Realms of Glory", "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Hark! The Herold Angels Sing". Neither of us sounded so good tonight, but we certainly did sing/play our little hearts out, nearly callapsing by the end. We tend to be 'all the verses' people. We might need to rethink that.
We ended the night with "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas", as she is a huge Judy Garland fan. I've been playing it since The Husband God Gave Me went to St. Louis. But, I'm not a Judy Garland fan, although my name is Judy, and a love to wrap garland around stuff.
So, that's what I did today, how about you?

A new stove/oven was delivered...the other one blew up in the oven on Sunday night so we are grateful the land lady was speedy in replacing it.
I am working on a shirt for my brother with very long arms...he loves my shirts I make him, which have been too far between...and he gave us the car he drove cross country this fall...so I am planning to pay him back with shirts as he won't accept money.
And chatted on the phone with a couple friends. So that is always a pleasant day.

Singing from the heart is good, and I'm guessing that it sounded good too.
We went for a drive to see some lights tonight. Took some pics and will probably post some tomorrow.
your life sounds nice. I ate Cuban with a dear friend last night before we exchanged gifts. Other than that- all week has been and will continue to be, studying. Thanks for sharing your life... it makes mine a little more bearable.

What a wonderful day! Yesterday was not so fun for me, but I'm glad you had a good one.
I love reading about your life. It seems wonderful and peaceful, well, except for the mice. Ug to the mice.
And good luck to daughter.
