The stress of impending company for dinner caused Little Boo to have a recurrence of her stomach bug. Thanksgiving morning was spent controlling the bathroom traffic while coordinating dinner. Those are two topics which should never be in the same sentence.
The moral of the story is: if you want to visit us, fine. Just don't tell us you're coming.
:)
And so, our dear friends who were to join us for dinner at our home, ended up with half of ours at their house, while we ate the other half at our house.
Talk about solidarity.
Of course, we are not alone in this sickness, our own Margaret had me smiling in recognition as she recounts their low key weekend. She does it with much humor and grace. Thank the Lord for that!
We spent the day yesterday and today buying Christmas decorations. We have become the people we used to mock, I told DH today. You know, the first ones in the neighborhood to get out the Christmas lights and start decking the halls, or the front porch, as the case may be.
But we have a valid excuse.
This time last year we were packing and preparing for a month-long vacation in the snowy mountains. All of our Christmas decorations remained boxed up in storage and have been there since '06. Time to break 'em out and get 'em up!
And so we have.
After a quick trip to the store for advent candles, I'm feeling a bit ahead of the game this year.
Here's to a prayerful, hope-filled Advent!
:)

Solidarity, indeed! You were certainly not alone in your illness.
Happy 1st Week of Advent, 'Meg!
