Dreary and cold Thursday

The weather has certainly changed - now it's cloudy, windy and chilly. At 3 PM it was 52 degrees with normal Oklahoma winds - the windchill is in the 40's.

I'm the only gal in the office today and tomorrow, and all I have left to do is print, fold and stuff the bulletins for Sunday. All the guys are gone (it's their day off) and phones hardly ring. Tomorrow will be busier because at least 3 of the guys will be back.

We had a funeral here yesterday, for a lady that has given so much to the community. The sanctuary was packed with about 100 people in the Fellowship Hall watching on TV. The funeral was tough on the staff and lasted over an hour. The front of the church was covered in flowers. She was truly loved and will be greatly missed.

Last night, we had 5 new people show up for choir! Monday night, the choir divided into small groups and went to visit our prospects. The groups sang a silly song at each home, like "We Wish You Would Come to Choir" to the tune of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "If You're Happy and You Know It" and "Come on Baby Come to Choir" to the tune "Come on Baby Light My Fire." It looks like their efforts paid off. After choir practice, we had a fellowship with lots of snacks.

Tuesday night, our prospective builder never showed up, never called and didn't e-mail. I sent him an e-mail today, to see what happened.

Would you believe that our middle child sent me his Christmas/birthday wish list? Of course, most of it I've never heard of - movies and games. He does have a birthday coming up in a few weeks and I guess he doesn't want me to forget about him!

That's it for today!
