Ground Hog Day?

Again, this photo has nothing to do with today's post, but is just a good reminder of the magnificent autumn we had in '08.

Last night we enjoyed the annual musical drama at our church. It is known as NBC or 'Night Before Christmas'. It is performed 12 times over 8 days and more than 10, 000 tickets are sold. It is a 'home grown' production with the drama being written by cast members, as well as some of the songs, and arrangements of musical offerings. The title of the drama this year was "All I Want For Christmas" making reference to the song about 'two front teeth'. The play opened in a dentist's office which made for a lot of laughs. It was about a fellow who got to live the same day over about three or four times until he got it right. He had the help of his own personal Angel but still had difficulty. It was very well done. The purpose of all this effort, of course, is to spread the true message of Christmas. Every year there are many folks in attendance who never darken the door of a church and they hear the gospel for the first time in their lives. There are always wonderful stories that come out of that. Our guests were a cousin of mine and his wife. We had a very interesting discussion later over a cup of coffee, that related to the issues brought up by the drama. It was a very good evening, time well spent and another time of bonding between my cousin and I.

Now, back to my kitchen. And yes, there will be before and after pictures. Just a few more days to go.
