Village sleeps

Coffee pod Dunkin’ Donuts…not awful

Picked up 4 from Tomah bus station at 4AM… delivered them to Omega

Chopper & I are in the office. I’m catching up on paperwork from the last few days. Hate filling in and tallying things. Would love to have something that automatically does that.

Looking for 1 bedroom country apartment/cabin/house that has a yard & is pet friendly. Rent must be reasonable for 1 person to handle.

It has been an interesting few days. 25th 1900 hrs picked up a family took them home to IA, visited DD#1 for a short while and returned home. Left for TN on the 26th @ 2130 hrs. took a family home. 27th @ 1900 hrs picked up a family in KY bringing them here for a Christmas gathering. Slept all day yesterday. It was a very good sleep. For that I am thankful. This morning 0400 pick up at Tomah bus station, delivered them to family. Slow easy day for rest of the day. Actually a catch-up day. Much needed.

Many thank yous to those who sent Christmas Letters/cards. I love getting them and catching up on everyone’s life. Hopefully I will remember to check contact info and will make the changes in my address book.

Let’s talk about the coming year… 2024… election year… increase friendship with Jesus… get back to confession 1x a month at the least… daily rosary… yea, that kind of year.

We somehow must change the way the world is conducting itself. Change will only come through how we conduct ourselves and what we allow politicians to do. We can no longer sit idle and let someone else improve things. It must start with our heart and our conduct.

Village silent

Coffee good

House silent

Last evenings’ vigil mass

Joseph, son of David,
do not be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit
that this child has been conceived in her.
She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus,
because he will save his people from their sins.”

This morning, our “salvation” has arrived packaged as a defenseless baby.
