Hi MJ,
Bummer, bummer. We got fogged in at the airport. Flights delayed, cancelled and diverted for three days. I was glad that I could call someone and get a ride home. People had been there for twelve hours before me and the airport was an absolute madhouse. They did not update boards and didn’t know what to tell people. That airline does not compensate for weather problems. To rebook would have cost $200 more and the next possibility just wouldn’t give me enough time there. So I bagged it for now. But I am disappointed. I was looking forward to some sun.
Meanwhile I went shopping with a friend here for Christmas gifts for women and children at the shelter. We went to Wal-Mart with the church money and spent $600 for 41 women and 29 children. Her daughter’s class is going to wrap them. She would have shopped by herself, and I told her that God had his ways of finding her some help. Back to my own decorating.

I am so sorry you didn’t get out for the trip! The fog lifted here yesterday and now the sun is shining brightly. Oh well, the Universe knows what it is doing, I guess. We have to trust that sometimes.
My son and his wife are moving out (again) this week. I am supposed to help in the afternoon. Got the plans set for Christmas Eve and Day. I chatted with our cousin Charles today for a long time. He has a new remedy for improving the immune system but I declined to try it for now. He has never read Joseph Campbell, so I am ahead of him in some small way. I do appreciate that he thinks women gave up a lot for “liberation”, that women are smarter than men, and have a more sensible life in general. I feel like I am heard when I talk with him.
Merry Christmas to you and all the family! Blessings always!
