Sorry I haven't posted in quite awhile. This is going to be a mish mash of things.

SNOW! I love Ohio! Actually, it has been beautiful but we have had a fair amount of snow for being just mid December. Hopefully this isn't a harbinger of a bad winter. Our most recent snow started yesterday morning and continued through this evening. Lisa and I substitute taught third grade Sunday School this morning. We only had three kids, due to the weather. We talked about the various angels that play a role in the Christmas story ... so we then made angel Christmas tree ornaments. They weren't the easiest things to make but they are cute.

Evan has a church friend over this afternoon. They get along well. My newly discovered hobby this afternoon is knitting. Don't laugh but we bought a "Nifty Knitter" loom yesterday at WalMart, along with some yarn to make a scarf for Lisa. I tried using it this afternoon and quickly got hooked. It is a pretty mindless way to spend time, and yet see that you're accomplishing something. Evan's friend had fun trying it, too!

I also started my Christmas shopping today. Thanks goodness for Amazon and the $75 we pay them every year so they ship all of our orders at no charge via 2-day service. I'm not done shopping but I did get a lot done.

Tonight is the finale of Survivor. It has gotten me to thinking ... what if they did a Survivor series in an inner city ... just drop folks off to fend for themselves. Now, that would be interesting.

I guess that is it for right now.
