We had a slight chance for snow or rain and snow mixed for Christmas Day, but it mostly was just overcast. This morning we have lovely sunshine but frost on the trees and roof tops.
I hope my little winter aconite tubers are sleeping well and will be ready to pop through the soil by March to give me some bright yellow blooms.
My husband's two sisters and one b-i-l came to our house for noon Christmas dinner. I had purchased a BOGO deal on pork tenderloin awhile back and froze them. I served them with an orange sauce and green-bean casserole and wild rice. One sister brought a fruit salad; one sister brought a cherry pie and a pumpkin pie. We ate off of the fancy china.
Last Saturday my husband and I went to the Cow Shed in Nappanee because we hadn't seen a jigsaw puzzle to our liking locally. The farmyard scene was a great hit on Christmas Day and at 750 pieces we actually managed to finish it in the one day.
This morning I went to the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver's license. The state of Indiana allows you to renew up to 6 months early. I had planned to renew before Thanksgiving but of course that didn't work out. I brought in all of the documentation for the Real-ID verified license that will be required for airplane travel in 2020. The new license should arrive in 2 weeks, well before my cruise to Panama and adjacent areas. The photo on the receipt looks a tad better than my new passport photo, but both are unflattering. It would help if they let you smile for the photo. I guess I really am that old lady in the photos.
We have my husband's December 31st birthday to celebrate and then New Year's Day. We pray that 2019 will be a more merciful year for us.
