Christmas Night 2007

And a Merry Christmas night to you! It has been a very good day here---a too-early start with Cana again (third time) portraying Saint Lucia at the Swedish Julate service at Broadway Baptist here in midtown where her dad is the musician--he will be ending a 6 1/2 year tenure there next week since Gospel Colors has grown so much. She says it is her last year. The service began at 6 am...she with a crown of candles on her head, along with another girl, and they light gobs of candles to welcome the day. But welcoming it at 6 is just too early for me.

Cana and Caleb flew with their dad to his parents near Nashville---I had a marvelous dinner at Susan Vogel's tonight. And do not feel sorry for me dear reader---as much as I love my two teenagers, a recess is in order.

Since the kids are gone, you will have to settle for Christmas greetings from the two young cats---Danger, the Tabby and Mel, the Tuxedo (who is a month older). And here is also a picture of the "Sputnik" thingy I purchased at River Market Antiques some time ago, to represent one of my favorite things about my year---the new/old midcentury living room. This is on the wall on the tiny hallway from the kitchen to the living room. One can use it as a candle holder or a planter! A versatile thingy!!! Also it reminds me that Philip gave me a hunk of cash, and tomorrow I am off to search for a mcm coffee table, hopefully Danish Modern, to go with my Grete Jalk love seat. Aren't you impressed with my knowledge??? Merry Christmas again! I may take off a few days from this since I lived out my commitment to blog every day in Advent, and you may be tired of me anyway. But, who knows? The blogger muse (I think her name may be Gertrude) seems to be sitting on my shoulder and whispering to me quite often.
