Merry Christmas!
"Joy to the world, the Lord is come"
On a Quiet Evening
My bag had to be at school this morning, along with my sleeping bag, so that the vans could be packed. We will be driving, in 4 vehicles - 3 large vans and a small bus - for three long days to Mexico. I have a little tote bag and my pillow to take tomorrow.
As part of the team of chaperones and drivers for this trip, I had to get my commercial driving licence. That meant a computer knowledge test (which I failed the first time because I didn't study enough about engines and torque and shifting), plus a driving test that included a vehicle inspection. That I did pass. Then, I needed a medical sign-off from my doctor assuring the licensing office that I was of sound mind and body. Also passed.
In a recent conversation with a friend, (actually, with more than one friend), she expressed both admiration and not a little horror that I would do such this - both go to Mexico and get my licence. To summarize what my friends said: "I've decided I'm too old to do things that are …

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas, Lorrie. I've finished work for the year and am so happy to be able to devote some time to making the house spic and span for Christmas. Old habits die hard and I can't imagine welcoming the date with a less-than-gleaming house. Other things can go by the wayside, but baseboards and woodwork will have attention! I'm singing as I'm doing it, and feeling quite spoiled with the luxury of 11 days at home ahead of me.
ReplyDeleteA blessed Christmas to you too, Lorrie!

And a very Merry Christmas to you as well...Hmmm...someone is counting upon your stepping away from the computer for a bit. Let us know if snow should suddenly appear or a starry night with one light so bright that it feels as if you could follow it.
