Good morning!
It is a chilly 30 degrees here this morning, but the forecast is for 50 degrees and sunny by this afternoon.

Good morning! Sweetie is off to the office - with my cell phone because his won't turn on or charge up more than about 1%. I have no phone, which is really odd. We no longer have a house phone. Well, heading off to our cell phone carrier to see what can be done with Sweetie's phone as soon as I take care of a couple of things around the house. It's cold this morning, but not so bad that there's a frost. It's pretty damp outside, but I don't think we had fog last night. Hope you each and all have a wonderful Christmas Eve! . . . That "Happy Birthday Jesus" wrapping paper was quick thinking on someone's part. Oh, my - talk about timing: the ASPCA commercial with pitiful photos of animals out in the cold and Silent Night being sung in the background came on TV, and here came little Leela, crawling up over the side of my leg begging for a hug. I told her, "You're not a neglected or abused animal, are you, Leela?" I gave her a big hug; she wagged her tail and walked off.

I went to the first of my church's two Christmas Eve services this evening.
It still seems funny to me to have a candle light service at 4PM, but it was very nice program with lots of the old Christmas hymns.
We had a really good turn out. There were so many people there that we had to set up extra folding chairs in the back.
I'll be interested to hear if the later service tonight has such a good turnout too.

Hi, all! I always enjoyed the Christmas Eve candlelight mass at the old Catholic church in central Lawton. It's been a pretty good day. Ran some errands; met up with Edward and we had an early dinner at Golden Corral. He had floor duty at the office the first half of the day. We both crashed when we came home & napped for about an hour. DS and L came by and picked up the kids' bicycles that were in our laundry room. Son has to work tomorrow so the kids are planning to get up at 5 a.m. and open gifts before he goes to work, lol. We're going over to give them gifts early tomorrow afternoon. I'll be wrapping gifts in the morning. Small funny story - I'm a member of a Facebook group that's a satire site. Yesterday, one of the gals said she'd been kicked out of her southern baking group because she goofed and put the post she meant for the satire site on the southern baking site. I think she was serious. See y'all tomorrow! The one thing I want to do tonight is to set up everything I need for cooking tomorrow. And then I'm going to make like "ma in her kerchief" and head off to bed so I can get up early. Love you guys!

No offense to anyone - this struck me as too, too funny!!! (And I'm not a big Star Wars follower.)

Been a good Christmas! Fixed a delicious meal. I forgot to pick up a bag of cranberries, so we also skipped the dressing. We'll have cranberry sauce & dressing tomorrow with the leftover roast. *wink* It'll all be tasty. Had a great visit with DS & L and the kiddos. They were happy with their gifts. Overall, they received more gifts than expected. I have thought all day that today was Saturday and tomorrow will be Sunday. It was odd to have Christmas fall on a Wednesday. Hope you all and your families have had a great Christmas.

Couldn't resist this one: The plumbers are supposed to repair our sewer line in the morning, but I think that will be postponed. The contractor called to have the utilities marked and that's happened, except for electric. Fortunately, this is not the problem we are having.
