Day 15. Over half way. I love to see these faces; smiles, a hint of anticipation. They're looking forward to something bigger than the little treats in the Advent Calendars now. Christmas is coming.
Twice each week, Katherine and I get together for a lunch date, to run errands or go to appointments (haircut tomorrow), and just "check-in". Our last lunch date was at Rib & Chop in Livingston where she got her "usual" (salmon). We really enjoy these get togethers.
I just got home from hand bell rehearsal! After several years of wanting to ring in a hand bell group again, I finally connected with a local community hand bell choir that meets at a local church and does a few concerts each year, and sometimes does programs for schools and nursing homes. I attended their Christmas program last year and asked if I might be able to audition for the next fall. No audition necessary (apparently teaching hand chimes to a bunch of junior and senior high students is credential enough to get accepted) and I started this fall. But when I signed up last Christmas, I didn't know I'd be moving. Even when fall came around and rehearsals began, I thought I would be around until late spring or early summer. Oh well. They let me stay on and we are preparing for our Christmas concert, conveniently scheduled for AFTER Christmas (so that it doesn't conflict with school programs and church events). So, if you're local and want to...
We are counting down the hours until we are enjoying the warm tropical weather of San Andres. In the meantime, I have made some updates to the website . Enjoy.
