Christmas decorating

We went to Silver Sneakers both Tuesday and Wednesday.  The leader is better than Tim in NC.  He sticks to business.  We came home and Armand and I carried our old furniture out to the screened porch.  It wasn’t too heavy but did clutter the porch.  We tried to make a date with another couple who just returned from Israel for the evening, but they couldn’t make it until Sunday evening.  We will be interested in their experiences since we will be going in February.  I spent the day trying to compose the sermon for December 11.  I think I have a good start.  In the evening we assembled our artificial tree so Evelyn could wash it for decorations.  I also put the Nativity scene outside for assembly Wednesday.  Wednesday was the day the new furniture was delivered.  It didn’t arrive until around 3:30 making it impossible to go play golf with Armand.  He went with another Canadian.  I worked more on the sermon while waiting for the delivery.  After that we connected the lights and “planted” the Nativity scene and hung the star.  It looks pretty good.  We went to Advent service and stayed for choir practice.  We had 9 people stay, more than I expected.  Bonny tried to order the song I requested, “Lo, How a Rose Ere Blooming” but got a vey poor revision of it.  I think the man who changed it should be arrested.  It was beautiful but not now.  We plan to go to Mexico for pedicures and teeth cleaning tomorrow.
