“Hey, pilgrim!”*
by chuckofish
The wee babes had fun at their birthday party this year. Last year’s party was a bit of a disaster with multiple meltdowns, but there were fewer people and they are a year older. They enjoyed their pizza and cake.
They will appreciate the handmade Christmas ornaments daughter #1 made them in years to come.
They got presents
including some books, which they like a lot.
Meanwhile the Christmas decorations are going up everywhere around here. The Kirkwood Holiday Walk was held last Saturday! Daughter #1 and I took a walk around the neighborhood and saw a few Christmas trees lighted up in living rooms! Please. Let’s get through Thanksgiving first.
In church we prayed for the Pilgrims to the Holy Land, of which I am one…
O God, our heavenly Father, whose glory fills the whole creation, and whose presence we find wherever we go: Preserve these pilgrims who will travel to the Holy Land; surround them with your loving care; protect them from every danger; and bring them in safety to their journey’s end; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP)
We are leaving on Saturday! It’s going to be a busy week.
