When you are awakened at 3:58 by an incoming text message on the cell phone from a phishing company and it take an hour to get back to sleep, it is much easier to “sleep in” the next morning.
7:45 was my rising time this morning. Dressed and ready for Sunday School and out the door at 9:15. Christmas Eve service was beautiful and after the last Amen was said, the “Pond Sitters” were gathered by all those that wanted one (or two, or more). We loaded four into the PT Cruiser for us and Mama.
My brother-in-law and I rode to the beaver pond this afternoon. It would seem that a couple of ducks, which should be on the farm pond, has taken up habitation about a quarter mile away in the backed up Big Branch! Maurice has borrowed a large live trap to try to capture the gone astray pair. With corn as bait on the trip mechanism, it is now a game of men and ducks.
The traditional Christmas Eve meal of Chili was started early this afternoon and with the Yule fire crackling in the fireplace, all is to do is to wait for the Jolly Fat Guy to make his appearance. Oh, by the way... the air conditioner is not running (at the moment)!
