Wonderful Evening

 When we awoke at 4:30 am we discovered it was raining and it rained pretty much all day. Mark has a cold, was sneezing and coughing so stayed home from church.  So did mom, Ruth and Karin.  Mom had kind of a bad day yesterday and so stayed home and listened on line.  Mike Kaisner had the morning service and Tim Roecker had the afternoon. At 3:00 pm anyone who wanted to go Christmas caroling met at church. There were 3 groups (about 75 people) go out to different places.  The carolers declared how fun it was to sing together with those they were singing to.  They even sang for Bernice Houk now 109 years old.  All met back at church at 5:30 for a feast.

It really was a feast of fried chicken, many dishes of different kinds of potatoes, vegetables, salads, jellos and of course desserts. So many different desserts/cookies/pies/cheese cakes/candies there was no way to try them all. Ruth drove mom and I and the light weight wheel chair as we only came for the dinner. It really was good for us to be there.  What a wonderful evening.                                               Our last airbnb guest left another wonderful review:   The pictures of this place do not do it justice! The apartment is very modern, charming, and cozy. The apartment is set up with thoughtful touches and decor. It was wonderful to see the horses and we were also able to enjoy the hiking trails. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend this stay to anyone who is looking for a peaceful weekend getaway. Thank you Judy!
