Monday morning and we are in the midst of a powerful rain storm here in NH. It's part of a larger storm hitting the Northeast. As I write Dan is out on a fire call - downed tree on wires with a chance of a fire. The call came in early and woke us up. Not sure what time he'll be home.
My lights just flashed so now I wonder if power outage will hit us.
Yesterday was my 73rd birthday. No big celebration. Emily and family had me over for tea and cake. I had elected not to accompany Dan to a singing of the Messiah. It was one where everyone got to sing! I don't sing like that.
Cookies were made this passed week and plates of them delivered to the neighbors with help from granddaughters. All but one of the neighbors were home to thank me. I have to revise that. The neighbor across the street is not friendly at all but I did deliver her cookies. She chose not to answer the door. Now I have to admit she does work from home so maybe was on a call and couldn't come. But even later there was no acknowledgement of cookies received. The one who wasn't home called me the next day to thank me.
Saturday Dan and I went to a performance in Grafton,VT of a choral group and brass quintet. It was lovely. Afterward we had dinner with the friends we went with at the Fullerton Inn in Chester, VT. We rarely eat that late but it was a delicious meal and conversation. We arrived home at 11 pm.
At the end of this week daughter Sarah and family will arrive to celebrate the holiday with us. We are looking forward to that.
Let me sign off for the rest of the year but leave you with Christmas Wishes and New Year Joys.

I hope you had a really happy birthday and will have a great year,
Have a very jolly time with your family, and enjoy lots of good food! Shame on neighbor who didn't accept your cookies, let alone than you for them. Scrooge may be her middle name. Sounds like a nice birthday celebration. See ya next year!
Happy belated birthday. Sounds like you had a great time. Too bad that some people are so discourteous but I think you took the high ground and for that you deserve much credit.
Happy Birthday to you. Since you are signing off for now, I wish you a Merry Christmas.
Happy birthday, Marcia. I’m going to be the same aged with you next March. I’ll be off all through January, 2024, much longer than you. Wish you a Merry Christmas. Enjoy the warmth of families getting together.

Belated Happy 🎂 Birthday wishes to you Marcia and early Merry 🎄 Christmas to you and Dan and your family. We hope that your family gathering will also be a belated celebration for yourself! The rainstorm was a messy drive as we traveled to Woodstock, VT, for a short road trip and thankfully an overnight stay. Patrick wanted to buy a new Vermont Flannel shirt and it was my gift to him (no surprise). Nashua, NH, had about 4-1/2 in. of rain but no river flooding. Hope that all was OK after Dan's call out.
And a very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Happy Birthday, Marcia!
And have a very Merry Christmas too!
Happy (though belated) birthday!!! All the best and thank you so much for always the kind words on our blog.
Great blog
I wish you all the best! And in the new year, only beautiful days. Best regards.
