Quiet Days

I have really enjoyed these last couple of days. There has been no rush to get anywhere and nothing that I just had to get accomplished. Valary and I didn't go shopping in Springfield, we just hit Wal-Mart here. Didn't find any bargains that we couldn't just live without. I did buy her a board game and a movie. That's what she wanted for Christmas. She took those home with her. I have some other things for her, too. She's not going to be able to be home for Christmas since she has to work both the day before and the day after. We won't be going up there, either, because she has to sleep sometime in between those two days. She has a 24 hour shift each day. So I will probably take the rest of her Christmas to her the next week. She did say that I could come up New Year's Day and spend a couple of days. I want to spend time with Keith and this will work out fine. Charles has even said that he will stay home. Wow! A special Mother/Daughter time. I'm excited. She'll probably be glad when I leave!

Back to our shopping, or lack thereof. We ate lunch together before coming home. Jasmine's is a favorite spot for both of us. She is an expert with chopsticks. I'm sure I would have even more food spilled down my front if I tried to use them! I had a good time with her. She decided to go back home yesterday instead of waiting for today. It was good to have her home.

I went to a 60th wedding anniversary celebration yesterday. This couple lives just north of us and has for probably 40 years or so. They also are members of my Sunday school class. Very fine Christian people and a good example for all. I was surprised when I got there because my aunt was there. I didn't know she knew Coy and Donna but found out she was a classmate of Donna's. Small world! This afternoon I am going to the wedding of their grandson. It's going to be a beautiful wedding.

It's just been a wonderful few days but it all ends at 6:30 Monday morning when I am the speaker at the Optimist Club meeting. That means getting up at 5:00. I also will be attending another meeting on Thursday to present Share Your Christmas information. The next three weeks are going to be busy, busy, busy.
