Update from mom 12/10

Hello from COOL Arizona,

Yes, it is quite cool down here right now. Marland never wanted me to say it was cold here so it is "quite cool". It is not nearly as cool as I will be in 2 days though. I will arrive in Minneapolis this next Tuesday and I'm told that it is COLD. I do have a pair of "cuddles" here that I intend to put on for my trip. Sue called this morning and told me that Jeff has the heat turned up at my house so I should be okay. No matter what the weather is, it will be good to be home.

Advent season started this week so I attended the service at church on Wednesday evening. It really makes me excited about the coming of Christmas. The true meaning is awesome. Then on Saturday afternoon I listened to our church choir sing the wonderful songs of Christ's coming. Really magnificent!! They performed the annual Christmas Cantata.

This is Sunday and I have planned a small "surprise" 70th birthday party for my friend, Norine. Hope we can surprise her.

I'm in the process of packing my suitcases to spend the next month in Minnesota. Even if it is cold, I can keep warm in my little house.

As a result of my writing in the blog each week, I'm hearing from several people and that makes me feel good. This week I heard from Heather and Josh. Thanks guys!

This will be the last blog from me until next year. I'll get back to you in January. Sue will possibly post some pictures of Christmas if you keep looking.

P.S. The picture of that handsome boy on the blog is Jonathan Ketcher, my great grandson who lives in Florida. You look very intelligent, Jonathan. Cute, too. Happy Birthday on Saturday.

Until next time--Love, LaVerne

It's going to be in the 20's this week -- not so bad. Have a safe trip back to Minnesota!
