Wow!
What did you do?
What did you talk about?
What did you eat?

We go to the same church frequently, so often see each other for a short time. He's good company.

Knowing what I "know" of him here, I can only imagine he was delightful company :-)

What a small world it is, and I'm glad ya'll are all in it with me :-)

Iva Mae gave me a lovely gift, as well.

She'd prepared a nice plate of Christmas goodies, cakes, cookies, etc. to give to friends.

It didn't seem relevant to give it to the people that she had in mind ...

... so she gave it to me.

Plus - I got a bonus.

There was a second plate just like the first, same story, same destination.

Thank you, Iva Mae.

I'll take it to our Christmas celebration tomorrow, so several of us may enjoy it.

As for what we ate ... they had some lovely Christmas cake, plus cookies, at the coffee hour after church.

I took in several trays of the tomatoes that have been ripening for about a month.

But some are looking a bit bedraggled, so there was not a substantial demand for them.

I'd planned to take them to the two churches that I attend a week ago, but got a call early on Sunday morning saying that due to the snow and blowing that church in the village was cancelled.

I thought that I'd try to go to the one in the city that Iva Mae attends ... but when I got about 20 feet out of the garage, wheels were spinning and I was close to getting stuck.

I was trying to dig a channel through the snowbanks.

So decided that it would be a good idea to stay home.

By the way ... Iva Mae is good company, too.

A couple of years ago, it took us a while before we realized that, though I knew she lived in London, (and she knew that I did, I think) that we realized that we attend the same church.

But we hadn't spoken to one another, to any extent, earlier.

I felt sad that Iva Mae didn't feel up to making the trip to Windsor in the spring to take the housewarming gifts to cherry fizz.
