Winter Solstice

 Today was the Winter Solstice and following tradition we celebrated by jumping in cold water to refresh ourselves for the coming year.  The older granddaughters obviously didn't get the full experience.  

Christmas 2025

 We had our family Christmas celebration at our house on Sunday! 

 

 

Walt and Tina Wilkins and Josh and Kristi Grider at "The Fe"

 First half of performance, was mostly folk songs they had written. After intermission, they played Christmas songs. 

As always, "The Fe" has great Texas singer songwriters. 

 

 

 

 

Backyard concert in Luling

 Sally and I love to listen to the music of folk/country singer songwriters.  These are not the big names and the venues usually hold fewer than 100 people.  This past Saturday we were at the home of Kathleen Stewart and Grady Light for an evening backyard performance by Gloria Anderson. Gloria is about to release her second album and played several of her songs from that album.

Thanksgiving Day

Lord, please accept our thanks for this food and for all thy blessings throughout this past year. We raise our voices together in the prayer that Jesus taught us:

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us thus day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
