TOP OF DOM party

Two busses made three trips t0 St Dominic's top floor where the Dominican sisters have exc. offices. Very plush and impressive it is. Decorate beautiful for Christmas and nuns everywhere. They live in a seperate building close by. The food was good and beautiful. Hot chocolate (which is a tradition with them} and you thought it was wine. I did too but no wine in sight. It was a beautiful view of the city and as it was dark early { I went on the first group} it was a great thing to see. Of course I have been on top in many big cities but nothing like your own home town. Everyone was dressed in their best, some dripping with furs and jewelry and feeling very Christmasy. It made me a little sad too. Truman and I had so many parties at Christma to go too. It was lonley by myself yet with many new friends. I will make it and realize this is my life and place now. Thani you Lord.

ADVENT

Sunday at Broadmeadow Amy. Shopie(reading}, M. G. and I lit the candel on the Advent wreath. Actually I just stood with them. They did a beautiful job with this touching ceremony. I like tradition and this is one I always remember. Everyone is getting ready and time is flying.

Merry Christmas everyone

CALL ME WIERD

This has happened once before but still funny. (wierd me) while in one stall in the public bathroom downstairs, a lady was talking on her cell phone really taking care of business. I hope I never see her face because I woiuld have to laugh--when I think she is really taking care of business. {she was in the next stall} Well am out of angels, I guess I have made 30 or more and I still need some more. What fun

Brrrrrrrr Cold

Dont't laugh you folks from Tn and Boston. We got excited yesterday when between 8 a.m and 8:05 a.m. we saw snow flurries. !!!!! Before I could call anyone and say LOOK, it stopped. O well maybe later. Things are busy around here. Little angels made from coffee filters are flying up and down ours halls and stopping at some lucky doors. I WONDER who set them free? I just know that the angel factory is keeping be busy. Such joy and smiles they are bringing. lITTLE THINGS DO COUNT.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas is everywhere. I have attended so many nice events but the best so far has been at our Church. Rev, Rob sang a solo that blew us all away . The choir (with Sophie} was really good and many other things at St Catherines' have been so good. Still more to come. I am trying to enjoy and not feel too sad. Sometimes I can hardley stand it. I miss him so. It is finally cold today --more like it!!!!

P.S. I could not stand not to being busy making some gifts to give my new friends, I am making angels from coffee filters. So cute and totally useless.

GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS

Yesterday Amy and I went to Wall
Mart and I bought a 4ft pre-lit Christmas tree. I also bought pre-lit garland to go on my balcony. Can not let everyone get ahead of me out here. It all looks so pretty. I saved some favorites to decorate the tree and I will not have to clean fallen needles any more. It is all so unreal and new to be doing this alone but Truman always went with me to buy a live Christmas tree but left the decorating to me So that is the same. Lots of activities our here and some really nice events. They do such a good job with that. I am trying to enjoy new friends and all there is to offer and I think I am doing O. K. MaMaw
