“See, I am making all things new.”*

Why do plumbing emergencies always happen on the weekend? Because they just do. C’est la vie.
The OM keeps an eye on the plumber as he snakes the sewer line.
Well, we had one such emergency on Saturday. The OM dealt with it mostly, since daughter #1 and I were out garage/rummage sale-ing when it occurred. Don’t worry, I helped with the clean-up on Sunday (following the longest church service in history–Pledge Sunday, All Saints Sunday and two baptisms all in one.)
The wee babes and their parents were in Kansas City, so I didn’t get to see them! Daughter #1 hurried back to Mid-MO so she could catch them as they paused in Columbia on their drive back Sunday afternoon. Sigh. I missed seeing them.
But I had a fun weekend, nevertheless. The bluegrass concert on Friday night was great. We checked out all the new Christmas stuff at Home Goods. We watched one of our favorite movies, The Man Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain (1995), in which Hugh Grant stars and actually plays a nice guy for a change.
On Sunday afternoon, after vacuuming and cleaning up, I went through my “keep out” closet where I stow all my presents (like Babe Paley, I shop for Christmas presents all year long) and made lists of what I have for Christmas and what I still need to do.
It is time to get serious about the holidays.
And now it is Monday (!) and I’m back at the salt mine…
