day before the day before...

The day before the day before... Dec. 23rd... that "quiet" day before all the excitement and activities of Christmas. We began in church, where Ed, Rylie and I lit the fourth advent candle. Sadie and Abbie were suppose to help, but Abbie was under the weather, and Sadie thought it best for her to lay low... especially where the next few days will be busy. After church.. Ed and I decided to hitch up ol Duke and take a little drive. Since we have no snow, we went in the cart. He was so good, that we got "brave" and decided to drive down the road a bit. It was great fun, we have one busy road that we have to cross, but after that, quiet country roads are endless. We were out for a couple of hours and it was wonderful. (but cold!!!)

When we were done, I gave Rick and Kelli a call... Kelli had been busy all day catching up on her Christmas "work", but thought taking a break for supper would be a good idea. So, we ordered up some Chinese food, went to their house and had a nice evening visiting and enjoying time with our friends. This is their pretty tree.....


And sadly, before I can even think, Christmas will be behind us once again... but right now.. I'm going to enjoy every moment of the next few days.... "Happy day before to one and all".....
