 Weekly Update 12/9/2018

I did not have a busy schedule this week, so I decided on Monday that I would work at loading my holiday playlist onto my phone so I could listen as I walked. It took a long time, but I finally got it! Too bad I didn’t know that I should have deleted the Steve and Edie song, but it's one of my favorites (that's what a playlist is!), so it’s still there.

I have not been to the library book club in several months. I haven’t read the books, so didn’t feel that I would have anything to add. This month, however, I did read it, so I wandered over on Monday for the discussion. I’m now reading A Redbird Christmas, which I try to read every December.

On Saturday, the Lunch Bunch had a holiday tea. In past years, we’ve done an ugly sweater luncheon, but one of the members of this group has just opened a tea house in the Starland district of Savannah. It was delightful! And no ugly sweaters were there. We got gussied up (which for me means that I don’t wear jeans and a t-shirt) and fancy hats. The tea treats were fabulous. I will have to go here again! We ate on the porch, and in spite of the fact that there were portable heaters, it was cold. But, that gave the ladies who own fur coats a chance to wear them.

the dining room, but we ate on the porches as a baby shower was going to be hosted here that afternoon

On Sunday, I had double tours. A special group was coming to DH in the morning, and they asked for help for the tours. The presentation began in the pharmacy behind the house with a lecture by the director, and the tourists needed to walk from that building to the museum. It was pouring, and there were many deep puddles in the lane. It was not pleasant. In the afternoon, I had my regular BC tour. Although the rain had stopped, it was very cold. I know that when I moved here, I laughed at the locals who thought the winters were cold, and vowed that I would never be one of those who complained. But I have complained! Its been unseasonably cold, and it doesn’t seem to be going away. Those still living in the North will have little sympathy for me.
