Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas Dinner at the Owens house today. John had bought a prime rib roast locally and fixed it to perfection. He had also baked the chocolate cake that Julie is cutting. Even the frosting was chocolate flavored. Sadie and Jack are at the age where Santa Clause is very important in bringing toys to "good little boys and girls". Jack just takes it for granted that a 3-year old boy should get all the things that he found under the tree. Sadie is a bit more suttle about the whole thing but enjoyed building with little "Lego type" blocks. I received a unique book from Carolyn and Ben that I have already been into and enjoyed. It is titled: "Then Sings My Soul" by Robert J. Morgan and contains 150 of the World's Greatest Hymn Stories.
The book has the Hymns with music on the left page and the right page tells the "story" of how the words and music of the Hymn came to become one of our favorites. The ice cream dipper that Jack is using to fix cones has a magnet that attracts the "ice cream" when compressed. It didn't take long for him to catch on as to how it works. Since our auction, Verlon has used our car and is staying at the house. He brought us back to Brookdale this afternoon and came in to spend some time with us here. He was able to get several items ready to be put in a suitcase this evening and taken back with him tomorrow as he flies home to Richmond, VA. We certainly appreciated what he was able to do in helping with the Auction and also the necessary house touch-up.
