Nativity Scenes
Christmas Tree - There were Several.
Woke up early today and made waffles for breakfast. Started to work in the studio room, and got quite a bit done. I also was busy with other things too. The weather hasn't been as bad as predicted here and we got maybe another couple inches of snow. I swept off the deck again, and it's pretty easy to clear off with dry snow and not too much of it. Joe cleaned off the front porch and sidewalk.
I've been looking forward to this afternoon because Bonnie had invited me several weeks ago to go with her to the Community Choir Concert today. I've never been before. Well the time got away from me AGAIN and I was a little late getting ready, but it worked out fine. We got to the LDS church in time to get a good seat, and as the time neared for the program to start the church filled up with lots of people. The choir was wonderful, singing all different styles of Christmas carols, and sometimes the audience sang along. Afterwards we went into their event center where there were more than 50 nativity scenes set up and some refreshments. It doubles as a basketball court and the nativity scenes were set up along three of the walls - that's how many there were. I never knew there was such a variety - large and tiny, made of many many different materials, all styles and colors. They were so beautiful, and all brought for display by the town residents. Such treasures, I took lots of pictures but you know how I've complained about my camera, it won't take very good pictures indoors in poor light even with a flash. But I was able to make a couple of the photos work. I had a great time and THANK YOU VERY MUCH DEAR BONNIE for inviting me to go along with you. It was a wonderful experience. The cookies weren't bad either.
As soon as we got back home Joe asked if I wanted to go downtown for a sandwich and I said sure. We went to the Bottoms Up and had prime rib french dip sandwiches. I went to bed almost right away about 7 p.m. and slept pretty good except for getting cramps in my legs - maybe up with them four times.
We're still using the electric heaters that Craig and Bonnie brought over and have stayed reasonably warm. Craig described how the heaters work. There are some halogen lights that shine on to something copper inside, then a fan blows out the warm air. So they use a lot less electricity. The weather is very wintry right now. Mostly cloudy with small snowstorms coming through. It got to about -10 here last night, but someone said that it was -27 over on Forty Rod. It might have been lots colder at the ranch too. Both Bev and Deb called today to see if we were staying warm enough, and Betty too. I never did get time to blog today so will catch up tomorrow.
Remember Beverly's tree blew over on the neighbor's house - 7 or 8 men from their church came over at 7 a.m. and cut it all up and stacked it in Brent's yard. He will be making lots of trips to the dump to haul it all away. The neighbor's house wasn't hurt at all ..... so lucky.
