Fact: One of the oldest carols still commonly sung today, “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” dates back to at least the 16th century. The song describes how Jesus has come “to save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray.”
Joyful singing is pleasant to listen to!
We visited the garden today and had our morning coffee; we had plans! Well, at 9:30 AM, Sydney called and said she would come over with the folks and bring Veal Picatta for Mary. That’s all it took! We changed plans. Sydney, Hal, and Jeannie came over at 2:00 PM, bringing a wonderful lunch. We visited for a couple of hours before they departed so as to beat the traffic back to Seal Beach.
Hal tried to reach for the strawberry!
We hope to have the house ready in another few months so MAry can begin painting and doing her crafts. She had no time for it during the past thirty years, but now, we have time and the means. Her Christmas tree below is amazing.
Mary is also a part time artist; she made this decoration.
The Branders and us were to get together for dinner for the past three months but between the operation, flue, COVID, pneumonia, etc, it never happened. It will happen tonight!
Marsha and Keon Brander came by at 6:30 PM after stopping at Yang-Ming and brought a plethora of dining delights. We sat around and talked until about 8:30 PM. I did the Kung-Pow Chicken, and it was tasty!
We sipped on a glass of wine, awaiting our Chinese friends to arrive!
After everyone departed, we looked at each other and were stuffed to the gills. We crashed soon thereafter because we have to be in Long Beach at 8:00 AM for a Mose procedure on my face; I am still fighting that pesky cancer that keeps popping up!
