Two weeks from today is Christmas Day....Richmond is featured tonight on The Learning Channel's Christmas Lights program featuring the "tacky light" tour (or, as I prefer to call it, the "holiday light" tour)....
The fog up this way was thick as pea soup this morning as we traveled the backroads at 5:30 a.m. By mid-morning it had burned off at lower elevations but the Blue Ridge Mountains were still obscured....
Changes continue at the Staunton News Leader as their opinion editor recently left for a job elsewhere. This past year has seen a shakeup in personnel....
Working on my Christmas cards and hope to have them in the mail by Thursday....
Christmas packages need to get in the mail, too....
My sister and my 12-year-old niece will be up Friday through Sunday for our annual cookie baking weekend. This is a tradition that includes flour, sugar, spinkles, the tried-and-true recipes plus a couple of new ones each year, and an all-around fun time for the girls....
This weekend will also include a drive around the area to look at Christmas lights as well as the light display in Gypsy Hill Park, and a ride on the trolley around Staunton with a stop downtown for pizza and hot chocolate....
Winter precipitation may be in the forecast Saturday night so we hope that will present a sleigh-riding opportunity with a bonfire in the back yard and the twinkling white Christmas lights illuminating the night....
Christmas is on its way....
