Another cold day. It's more like December than November. I went to the church to see if there were any bills to be paid. There were a couple but I have to call the one company about a problem with their bill.
I was almost ready to leave when some ladies came to deck the halls. I stayed to help them. They didn't know where the decorations were put away last year. I thought they were in the closet downstairs. They needed a tall person to hang the big wreath in the sanctuary. I looked up and thought, I'm not that tall. We found the step ladder and I hung the wreath. When the lady in charge arrived came, she didn't like it that high but the place she wanted to hang it had a large speaker in the way. She got out voted by the three of us who hung it. We also had to hunt around for the Advent Candles. Kay thought we had plenty of time to get the Advent Candles and asked when is Advent. I said it was this Sunday. I called the secretary and she said they were in that closet downstairs. We looked in several boxes and then I saw a box the said Advent Candles. The box could have smacked me in the face.
I finally went home. It was 1:30 and I hadn't had my lunch and Sarky would need to go out. I took him out and then heated up my lunch. I had a large slice of ham and my Waldorf Salad. I took my plate to the sofa and put on the TV. Some one came to the door. It was a neighbor girl. She had come to do some work for me. I put my plate down on the coffee table without thinking. I went to the shed to get out the rake for Brittney and told her what I wanted done. As I entered the house I realized what I had done and sure enough, my ham was gone and my little dog was standing near the coffee table licking his chops. The ham was almost a half inch thick. I cut myself another slice of ham and sat down to finish my lunch. I got my little fiber optic tree out of the shed and put it in my front window. It's time to deck my halls.
I went to Praise Band practice at 4:30 and once again I had to open the church and sanctuary for the band members as no one else had a key. There were not many of us their; three guitar players and me. Of course, they picked out all new songs that I did not know and some they didn't know either. There was one that I alone knew, "Come Thou Long Expected Jesus." Jen asked if it was in the hymnal and I said, Yes." She needed to play it on the piano to see how the song went. I got another hymnal and finally, there was one I could sing and read the music. All the other music just has the lyrics and guitar cords (E, F, G, etc.) I have no clue how to sing it. I have to listen and then figure out how to sing the soprano. Most of the time I sing the alto until I get the hang of it.
We stayed extra long because the band didn't know some of the songs either. We spent most of the time going over one song. Steve said if we go over this song one more time, I'm going to throw up. My sentiments exactly. I had to make sure all the lights were out and couldn't find the switch to one of the lights. I had to lock up the church. I felt insecure about the respondibility.
When I drove into the driveway, I saw Sparky sitting on the bed looking out from behind the fiber optic tree in the window. Then I saw him jump down and head for the livingroom to meet me at the door. My Alberta Spruce is decorated in green lights and is on a timer and it looks so pretty even though it needs another set of lights on it. I didn't want to venture out on Black Friday so I'll have to get them tomorrow.
