Sunday - December 14

 We went to 9:30 Mass with Father Robert at St. Francis.    Mike O'Brien was there with all his family.    His wife, Jessica (Jesi) who died 1 week ago will have her funeral at St. Francis on Wednesday.   Jesi was only 61.

Take Two Coffee moved to a different location (they have the yummy donuts) and "Forever Grounded" moved in where Take Two had been and connected to a church.    First time to visit this place - wow....they have wonderful moist scones (peppermint/chocolate chip) and Mark had a bagel.   Outside the coffee shop is a food truck "Brownies and Junk Home Bakery" - he had 4 flavors today (dark chocolate/peppermint,  cinnamon pecan crunch, salted caramel/butterscotch and Reese's peanut butter) Their packaging says "these are made in a cottage food operation that is not subject to Florida's food safety regulations"?   

We  bought 3 (thinking the boys would love these - soooo good, but not sure they'll last that long?) 😋

On home, and did 2 loads of laundry.    Started sprinkling at 12:30 but didn't last long and sun came out!

We walked in the afternoon.   I watched another Hallmark movie and read.

We are very proud of Luke and his Adventure CORE friends who hiked 4 miles in knee-deep snow at an elevation of 1500' today to Roan Mountain.    WOW....he loved it!   4 degrees with 45 mph winds!!!

Ahhh...to be young and adventuresome!

Luke (2nd in line) - ready to start the steep incline!

Lunch under their tarp which holds body heat
Warming up inside the tarp

Everyone on Zoom tonight except Sharon and Marilyn.    Weather was a top subject, travel plans for next weekend (101 coming at this point for Chamberlain Christmas), update on brother-in-law, Mike's health at Memory Care and Lydia has a bad cough.   The conversation ended about 10 minutes early as not much else to discuss.

Enjoy your week ahead, stay warm and hope the hustle and bustle of the holidays are "FUN"!!!
