Happy New Year!

A knock on the door came this morning at 10:08a.m. It caught both of us in bed, sort of half-awake. I thought it might be Zach, who plows our road, bringing a bill, so I got up and went down.  But it proved to be two Jehovah Witnesses, two older women. When I explained we were in bed, they kindly let us off the hook.

We are finally getting a quiet day after a whirl of seasonal activity. Thus the late hour in bed. New Years Eve I visited Doug Hamilton at Grace Cottage hospital - he is slowly getting better but faces issues of what comes next because he can no longer live at home alone. Then we hosted Andy and Robin Davis, and Katie, Savanna and Brendon for supper and then we all went to the Amidon family's Last Night Concert, this year held  at Centre Church, and it was great as usual. But it was icing when we came out - scary, but we made it home ok.

Sunday, Max and Tamar came up to our place to make gingerbread houses. Ellen made the wall and roof panels and M&T built and decorated the houses. They had a good time!

Tonight, Concert Choir resumes, with concerts looming on January 11 and 12. So we rehearsed our music last night and will again today. We also have Centering Prayer this afternoon.
