We have had lots happening.
First, our annual engineering disaster was canceled due to impassable roads between here and Nerida's place. First it snowed for days -- and then it rained all day yesterday, creating an icy mess. It was slick but passable here in town, but Nerida and her family live on a farm 30 miles out of town and the roads out there were pretty bad. (It's back to snowing now, so we can hope that there is enough accumulation to make the ice rough.)
It was Jack's first experience in a Christian style church service, and once he got the hang of the expectations he did great! (We were surrounded by babies, so it wasn't until I pointed it out to him that he realized that the only people talking during the service were the babies.) He absolutely loved the music and seemed completely enchanted by the whole experience. He made his way to the choir director after the service to ask to join the children's choir and he was welcomed most graciously, so it looks like we'll be going regularly for a while.
(Whenever a baby would crow, the minister would make reference to "choirs of angels! I loved it!)
More likely, we are now facing a 50-50 chance of keeping our place with the company or that we will be let go anyway, with a far smaller payout and some very, very difficult choices. Needless to say, we have a preference.
On the bright side, it's snowing again, and we're looking forward to spending the day with Grandpa John and we got many of the cookies delivered yesterday and I had a chance to spend some time with a friend I don't see enough of yesterday. There is much to be happy about in this season.
I'd best got tidy up before we leave to get John.
