Son#1 is the one who has our grandbaby. We’ll simply reset the trip for a time that works for both sons. ---

Snoopy and Woodstock had a bit of a rough takeoff tonight, what with the snow on the wings from yesterday’s snowfall, but they’re up and flying now. So where’s the Red Baron? 😙 ---

And the carollers came by! Local singers caroller down our street collecting donations for the door bank. ---

@#$%^& it! Amazon says they delivered Mom’s gift a couple of days ago. Apparently, it got stolen. Replacement won’t get here until late January. Oh, well. ---

> [@mbh](#): > > Apparently, it got stolen. 😡 😡 😡 About 11 or 12 years ago I was about to drive 500 miles to visit now-Mrs. L.A. down in Coos Bay. I went out to the Jeep on Christmas Eve to find that someone had nicked my driver-side windshield wiper – arm, and all. I swapped out the passenger-side one so that I could drive down to Everett to get a new arm and wiper before proceeding south in one of the heaviest snow storms we’ve had since I’ve been up here. (Looks like this year might be heavy too.) ---

Our Christmas season is _great,_ so far. My 30 or so Christmas cards have been mailed out. I’ve gotten a few back, including from my crush in Florida, and a friend who lives in The Netherlands. We opened Christmas presents with the landlady’s family this morning. (Actually, they started without us, knowing that we were out late last night doing a sing-along Messiah.) We got a towel set and some screwdrivers. And my Christmas present from Mom (which I picked out) arrived about an hour ago: _No Time to Die_. Last Sunday, we had a fantastic church service led by the choir, which I’m in, doing several anthems. Tomorrow, we have a 7 o’clock Christmas Eve Lessons and Carols service, and on the 26th, I’m doing a solo in church.
