My wee attempt at making a Putz house village on the top of the piano. I had limited space, as there is a lamp and a Bose radio/CD player sharing space with it. All of these houses and churches are vintage.
We’re on the same weather rollercoaster as much of the country. Heavy rain yesterday and all night long. We’re currently in a bit of a lull, then more rain/snow around noon with temperatures plunging from 49 degrees (our current temp) to 8 degrees. The high tomorrow will only reach 16. So far the roads seem clear. I guess the determining factor is how much precipitation we get while this dramatic change is happening later in the day.
Yesterday, I was at the library when they opened to pick up that book and managed to get back home before the ‘event’ started. Later on that afternoon, I got another message from the library saying a book I had on hold had arrived. So I’ll try to get there today around noonish to pick it up because they’re closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. It’s the newest Michael Connelly, by the way, and I was at least number 25 in the queue when I last checked a couple of days ago, so I have no idea how it turned up this quickly. It’s rather shocking.
Now I have three books that I have to finish by the first week of January. Hmmm. Don is now reading the book about Dorothy Kilgallen.
Our big decision: I will bake cookies today and Don will make the apple pie tomorrow. Frankly, it will help to have the oven going tomorrow – it’s going to be COLD.
Last night we watched The Shop Around the Corner. It has been a favorite of mine for years and years. And it’s now a favorite of Don’s. Ernst Lubitsch was a brilliant director and the cast is simply wonderful. Tonight, A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim – the only version we watch because Sim’s incredible performance spoiled us for any other. Tomorrow – It’s a Wonderful Life. On Christmas Day – White Christmas. That’s the lineup for this year.
Okay. One more post tomorrow before I take the day off on Christmas.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
