Early Saturday morning we got a phone call from my sister-in-law telling us that they had lost power also with the advent of the storm. My son and his wife just got theirs back in Sturbridge, and since I hadn't heard from anyone else I thought all was well. We had overnight guests after all.
It was also the evening for our Annual Adult Parish Christmas Party, Saturday, which turned out to be a fun occasion and a break for the weary and cold Charlton visitors. They had their hands full, icing coolers trying to save their food, while transporting items to various houses, then here, lugging items they would need overnight. Luckily their power returned during the evening and they are comfortable at home once again.
Since Jayne and John were planning to attend the party, we ordered another place setting and all turned out well.
After Liturgy today, we went to see Scrooge, at the Bradley Theatre, in Putnam. It was wonderful! I cryed a few times, once when Bob Cratchit went to the graveside of Tiny Tim, one other of Scrooge's personal reflections. After the play, we gathered with friends for a burger, fries and cheesecake.
Tonight when I got home, I received a call from my son Bill, and he will need me to watch Nathan tomorrow. It will be a long day but I'm looking forward to seeing him. Last week he told me he loved me, all by himself. I'm thrilled! Isn't that all a girl wants and needs to hear?
