We attended church this morning. There were only a few of us there—perhaps under 20. We attend a small Lutheran church built by Norwegians 150 years ago. It is situated on the top of a hill surrounded by farm fields, and the nearest town is probably 15 to 20 minutes away. We are just a small church, but I doubt there are any churches that are warmer in Spirit.
This afternoon the weather was blustery. Even this evening as I sit here typing on my computer I can hear the wind roar as it whips the pines that surround our home. My mother came to visit for a while this afternoon. She sat down with me and viewed the photos on my computer of family and activities—memories. My husband went over to the pond on the Gator with my daughter to collect water samples for Biology class. Since I did not have to go, I read a few chapters in Eragon, played with the kittens, and puttered around the house. It was a nice day.

Tonight’s meats judging practice was cancelled; too many young high school students would be driving in wind that is strong enough to blow a van off the road. So we are all home, snuggled in for the night. My boys want to watch a video—I’ll probably join them for a while. Usually my youngest tries to get us to play a board game on nights like this. Life is good.
What do you do on quiet Sunday evenings?

What do I do on a Sunday evening like this...
Watch the Packers on television and wait for the men to return from Green Bay. Knit. Watch Survivor. Play Uno with Katie.
It was blustery here too. The news said we had wind gusts up to 52 miles per hour here in Madison.
It sure sounds like you have a lovely day!
Good for you :o)
This Sunday we watched Wives and Daughters, and then read from A Christmas Carol. I am also working on starting my own blog...and it is giving me great empathy for my children that are learning foreign languages. I am lost, but slowly finding my way around.
Your pictures are great -- and your lawn ornament beats a pink flamingo any day.
Blessings to you on your windy day,
Diane

Tonight we made mini-marshmallow snowmen, then retired to the living room to read Jotham's Journey by the the light of the Christmas tree. It was a great night. I'm glad you enjoyed yours, too! :-) Denise K in CA
I worked on my afghan last night. It was windy and cold here, too. I was very warm, because my afghan is getting bigger!
