That’s what I thought.  We’d celebrate a nice, quiet Christmas Eve.   We’re supposed to get snow starting about 4 and then all night . . maybe up to 6″.  No company . . just us for Christmas.

First thing that happened, Vince took his shower and came out in a rage because Chad had used all the hot water.   But .. Chad hasn’t had a shower yet!  The new water heater isn’t working right.  While we don’t expect our water heaters to last much longer than a couple of years, less than a month just isn’t right!    Called the plumber and he was willing to come out today but we can make it til Monday if we space the showers and laundry and dishwashing . . I hope!

Then Sharon, who is from here but lives away and reads my blog, had told me she was going to be in town so we met at Burger King and had lunch.

When Vince and I got home, there was a message that our turkey is ready so back in the truck . . went and got the turkey.  Before we got home, the cell phone rang and it was Chad.  He had left his lights on and his battery was dead.  So, Vince and I went in the freezing rain and jump started his car and brought it home.  It’s on the battery charger now and we’ll go get him when it’s time for his dinner break at 4:00.

And to think . . I had hoped to sew today!
