This morning we had the opportunity to attend a baptism for someone in our ward. He decided that rather than be baptized in the font in the building (in warm water), he would like be baptized in a lake, with the sun coming up over the hills. It would have been a really great idea in August, but this is November, and it was 51 degrees outside. Brrrr!
Having said that, it was a beautiful service. And a very memorable occasion.
The worst part? Not the 51 degree air, not the freezing cold lake... it was after the two men were out of the lake and drying off, when they were informed that Brother Casseta was not entirely immersed and the ordinance would need to be repeated. In the lake. In the COLD. Back in they went - and the second time was thankfully a good one!
Ryan spent a couple of hours stringing up the Christmas lights on the outside of the house.
It's holiday shopping time! I'm so excited.
A friend of mine managed to get tickets to a performance of "To Kill A Mockingbird" at the Norton Center in Danville. It was really good! I was surprised at what a nice facility it was. And we had amazing seats - orchestra section!

Now that we have been to visit Aunt Lesley,
We had a really nice visit with my sister Lesley and her family. It always throws their normal routine to have visitors, but they made us feel welcome and comfortable. On top of everything else, Rachael had potty training accidents in her costume, and Lesley washed that dress not once but twice while we were there. And she loaned me two different pairs of Halloween socks!
