Monday Musings...

 

Hello to a new week and goodbye to my birthday week!!

I'll jump back to Thursday.  Early morning fasting labs, then Bible study at the church.  

On Friday, Danon and Mali invited me to meet them for lunch at Tapa Tios and Danon treated me for my birthday.  It was so fun catching up with them and hearing about what's going on at Tenoroc.  I really do miss the guys.  I gave Danon cupcakes to take back to the office for a little Merry Christmas from me.  Hope they enjoyed them.

I mentioned last week that Tim (of Tim and Judy) had gallbladder surgery.  He is home and doing well.  Larry (of Sharon and Larry) is still not doing well.  He and Sharon bought tickets for a concert at our RP Funding Center and he wasn't feeling up to going.  He told Sharon to ask me to go, which she did.  I tried to pay for the ticket ($65.00!) but was told no.  

Friends, it was the Vienna Light Orchestra Christmas Tour 2024 and the music was amazing.  All Christmas music, from the Nutcracker Suite to Jingle Bells and every hymn and jingle in between.  There were seven violins, five cellos, one harp, and five singers.  My favorite was Mary, Did You Know.  It always makes me tear up.  We were third row in the mezzanine and couldn't have had better seats for that kind of concert.  No pictures were allowed when the concert started but I took one of the stage just before.  It was fun being with Sharon for an enjoyable evening.  I'm just sorry Larry wasn't able to go.

On Saturday, I cleaned the house, got some gifts bagged and ready to deliver.  Placed another Amazon order for a few more things and started watching Christmas movies.  First up was Christmas Vacation and second was A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sims as Scrooge.  It is my favorite Scrooge movie.

Also on Saturday, I started sneezing and coughing and feeling like a cold was trying to take hold of me.  I started ZiCam, hot tea, and honey.  I decided to skip church yesterday.  If I am getting something, I didn't want to spread it around.  By afternoon yesterday, I was feeling back to normal.  Sore throat gone, no more sneezing or coughing.  Done, I hope!!  Did my usual two loads of laundry and made some soup with leftover (frozen) turkey.  I'll be eating it all week!

I am having lunch at Fish City Grill with my friend, Shirley, tomorrow.  It will be good to catch up with her.  I see my doctor on Wednesday.  My sister arrives on Thursday and we are off to the races through Christmas!!  I want to do some baking too.

Peace and Hugs!

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord,
the newborn King
