Oh there is so much to relay; where to begin?!?
Praise God from Whom all blessings flow! After the recent storm we have not lost power and both of our vehicles are running well! We are both on the mend and Moni's ankle is almost good as new, God be praised!!
We didn't have school yestreday, Friday the 23rd, due to the coming event and winter storm warning. The cold is here (down to 0 last night, and only 5 above now), to be sure, as are with winds (sustained 20-25 mph, with gusts up to 60), but the snowfall accumulation we so feared never manifested (maybe two inches total; drifts up to five or six inches, and the sidewalks blown clean already). We are blessed!
Thankful we are for the many gifts from staff and students and their families - oh how God showered us through the many folks of Holy Spirit this CHRISTmas! Thankful and humbled we are.
The Downy (and a few Hairy) Woodpeckers have been our most faithful customers these past few days. Second price in attendance goes to the Darkeyed Junco and House- and Chipping- Sparrows! Pigeons, Black-capped Chickadees, and Tufted Titmice have all been visiting as well, along with a fortunate Hawk - not able to identify the variety - showing God's design for nature in our little yard.
Looking forward to 11 pm Mass during the Night (with Pre-Christmas Music at 10:45) tonight, and our lasagna dinner tomorrow. We have the thermostat up to an unheard of 78 degrees in an attempt to thaw our pipes - no water for us so far to-day!
Compass issues, new glasses, and overdrawn checking accounts round out our end of the year high- (or low-) lights. My mom and dad's Lions are beginning play for their 8th win of the season, a feat only accomplished four times since 2000.
