Day 356: Ready for Christmas

The time for cleaning, decorating, polishing, scrubbing, buying, wrapping and planning is over.  Tomorrow is all about cooking, baking and picking up Colin and April at the bus station.  Justin and Evan will arrive by car around 5:00.  Can't wait to have them all under our roof and around our table.  A ferocious winter storm named Draco is pushing east, fueled by wild winds and carrying lots of snow.  We worry about the boys driving across the southern tier on Rt.  86 through the mountains.  

Five more funerals took place in Newtown today.  In honor of the children and their teachers, we took 26 Christmas gifts down to the Rural Ministry in hopes that a few local children will have a merry Christmas.
