     Yesterday, was a quiet, pleasant day.  We went to town again.  We knew we would probably be going in again when we went Thursday.  But some days the front room seems to close in on Darel more than others.  I try to get in and out of stores quickly but he always says," don't hurry, i like to sit here and watch people."

     Day's called yesterday to tell me my necklace was repaired.  They did a beautiful job.  I don't have money for jewelry but if I did I would buy it there.  Such a nice staff and very fair.

     Christmas is taking up most of my time.  i started on the advent candle lighting reading for Christmas Eve and the Nativity skit.  Debbie said she is bringing garlic bread to go with the ziti so I can concentrate on the Christmas part of Christmas Eve.  We don't have any deserts.  The kids get enough sweets other places, the parents like this to be a sugar free zone.  And the grown ups sure don't need any.

    Have a good day, Sally
