Snow???

Yesterday (the day after Thanksgiving) I was privileged to spend the evening with my whole family at home. You don't realize just how special those times are until they move away from home. The girls tried their hand at making some new soups. Something like butternut squash and pumpkin something something. It was an adventure (sorry for the comments last night Erin, that wasn't very fatherly of me). I guess I'm still just a boring guy who likes tried and true foods.

Erin wanted to help decorate the Christmas tree, so I brought it up out of the basement and set it up. I can't remember the last time I got to sit and watch all the ornaments get put on it. They reminisced about ones they made years ago in preschool. They couldn't believe our "First Christmas Together" ornament was still even holding together!! Hey, it's only been 26 years since we got it!! Watching them decorate it brought back a flood of memories, both for them and for me. It was great.

When we went to bed last night, a light snow was falling. The weatherman said that we should only get a light dusting, or maybe up to an inch. I woke up this morning to at least 2 or 3 inches on the ground!! It is very pretty out. It was a wet snow, so I'd guess that a lot of it will be gone by the end of the day.

Mary Beth Bowers' father Charles Kjellin passed away and his funeral is this morning. I was privileged to be asked to sing at his service this morning, so I'd better go get my vocal chords warmed up.

God is good, all the time!!
