Busy Christmas times...

Hi! As I write this post, Keith, Kim, Caleb, and Lauri are here for a brief visit. Keith is the presiding minister at Paul and Kari's wedding tomorrow night, and will go to the rehearsal in an hour or so. Kim is not feeling well...a cold or such, I think, but we are having a nice visit. Lots of eating, playing pool, talking, with various family members in and out. The rehearsal dinner will be here. It was raining when we woke up this morning, but the day is not sunny and cool. Thank You, Lord! Hoping it stays this way through the wedding tomorrow evening.
The wedding is being held outdoors at the home of someone the Moorings know. It is way out in the east valley, probably about a half-hour drive from our house.
Keith and Kim and kids will have to drive back to Pahrump immediately following the wedding to be back there for church Sunday morning, so pray for them as they make that drive, as well as for the wedding and wedding party tonight and tomorrow evening.
I guess Christmas will seem like an afterthought, sort of, after all this wedding hustle! But it will be nice, and we are looking forward to that, too. I have not talked to the local girls about what we are having for dinner that day, or who will bring what. I think I'll give Carey a break...she will be "recovering" from Paul's wedding! But Kathie and Lyndsay usually call to ask what to bring. Since they haven't called yet, I hope that doesn't mean they are not coming...
Merry Christmas to you all, filled with joy and love, and may our Lord bless your new year richly! Grandmom
