DD Daughter and Santa - 1979

Word of the Day

Dr. Pepsier - The result of mixing Dr. Pepper and Pepsi.

The morning was spent at the church. I practiced with the church orchestra for when we play for the Sunday before Christmas. I'll have to practice with them again next Sunday. After that, I organized the music the director gave me for the third service. Sight-reading. Most of it was stuff that I'd played before so there wasn't too many problems for me to play for the third service with the contemporary group. I don't think that we play for any of the Christmas Eve services. #1 Son will be playing with the brass ensemble for one of the services but I'm not sure which one at this point.

Since I was out with the car, I thought it would save on gas if I did my grocery shopping on the way home. Done and did. HTP and I are getting tired of leftover turkey. I bought a beef roast but I'm going to save that until tomorrow night's supper. Tonight we'll have steaks on the grill. I even bought baking potatoes.

HTP is working on putting the finishing touches on our Christmas letter labels, etc. I expect that I'll be working on my Christmas cards tomorrow...or next week. As for decorating? Maybe tomorrow.

There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.
