An early December weekend

Another weekend is drawing to a close.  It's hard to believe that there is only one more Sunday night where I have to work the next day for all of 2021.  I really don't know where the time has gone.

Overall, it was truly a lovely weekend.  Catherine had a rough week last week, and we loved having her home Friday night.  We loved how her best friend Belle, the daughter of our best friends, helped her to laugh and made her feel better, even if it meant Catherine went back to her apartment yesterday instead of today.  I loved watching a cheesy Christmas movie with our family Friday evening.  We even included Thomas's girlfriend.

My day began early yesterday and was busy, but we got to spend the bulk of the day with our dear friends.  We had not been together to just hang out since JULY!  Four times we had plans that had to be rescheduled, but yesterday it all finally came together!  We hung out at a winery, where I fell in love with their holiday wines!  We spent about nine hours together and loved every minute.  So much catching up, and so much laughter.  While we were gone, Thomas volunteered with a band activity, and then had a pep band scheduled for last evening.  We had found out at the end of the week that our former town was playing our school here in town.  Thomas enjoyed getting to see some familiar faces from long ago.

Today our day began at church, then Andrew had to work at the high school hockey game.  I had a very productive day working on many different things, but it was a fairly peaceful day.  I'm finding so much peace in the view of my family room, with a candle lit that has a wonderful scent, and the view of so many decorations.  I'm truly enjoying the season!
