A Little Rain

 They were predicting MAJOR rain and flooding

over the weekend.

It did rain.

Quite a bit.

But we didn't get any flooding from it.

Some people did... Brock, next door has

a nice little pond in his front pasture

that the local ducks are enjoying.

And, unfortunately, the 10 acre parcel that

Kyle was supposed to start mulching today

also got quite a bit.

But we are high and dry.

Meanwhile, we had our ward Christmas party

on Saturday evening.

We had lots of fun.

It started with a "social hour".

And then dinner at 6.

Then they sent the little kids and any parents

who wanted to go with them,

to the Primary room for some activities

and a visit from Santa.

Meanwhile the rest of us old folks stayed

in the cultural hall for a rousing game

of musical chairs.

And then a scavenger hunt.

And rock, paper, scissors.

All for fun prizes.

(Mostly food items and gift certificates

for Wendys...)

We were all done, cleaned up and gone by

about 8:15.

It was POURING rain, but we still had 

a really good turn-out. they had to put

up 2 or 3 more tables.

It was all put on by the Exec Secty and his wife.

(Volunteered!)

Anyhow.

It was a fun evening.

And the Sacrament Meeting full of music

turned out really well.

Some spoke at length about their song

of choice, some didn't (me), and

some even picked non-Christmas hymns.

It turned out really well.

And then we had our friends the Galbraiths

over for dinner.

We have been to their house for dinner

several times. She was the one who gave

us all the kitchen stuff to borrow.

He's the EQ Pres so we got to work closely

and got to know each other and our families

pretty well.

It was a nice evening.

I tried a new recipe. Yeah, I know, you shouldn't

do that... and it's not one I'll likely repeat.

But it was ok.

The company made up for it.

Today we have a guy coming to replace the

door going into the laundry room that Beau

destroyed when we first got him.

(He didn't WANT to be locked in the

laundry room while I wasn't home...)

And also to fix the pocket door going into

the master bathroom.

It was broken when we bought the house,

and I just hung a blackout curtain on a 

rod over the opening.

Quieter and darker.

But decided we should probably fix it before

we try to sell the house.

And then at 10:30 we have our final 

virtual walk-thru the new house with

our realtor.

I'm going to try to record it.

Or at least take some screen shots of the

various rooms since I can't remember 

the little details like how many outlets in 

the rooms and which rooms need ceiling

fans and new light fixtures.

That sort of thing.

Anyhow.

Hope you have a lovely Monday!
