Finally, a quiet week!

This past week on the island has been a quiet one. Having gotten all of the initial holiday celebrations out of the way, we took a quick break before starting the final ones. The Christmas Eve service at the church is probably the second-most attended event of the season (sorry, but nothing beats the Garage Party in terms of sheer numbers) and I am looking forward to it. The Madri-Gals will be singing again, to start the service. We rehearsed today while the kids were being fitted for costumes for the Christmas pageant. It should be a wonderful evening.

Last week, I was busy with work-related things, final preparations for the family Christmas visit and planning for the January trip, hence the dearth of blogs. I'll try to write more often, although all bets may be off in January. We will be traveling for most of the month, including some time in Key West. The idea was to go somewhere warm for part of our time off, but it has been so warm here we aren't really feeling the winter chill or the desire to escape it! I'm not complaining, though...I suspect there will be plenty of cold air during the first part of our trip, when we are in the Asheville area, in the mountains of NC!

Merry, Merry Christmas to you and yours.
