Today I will be finishing up our stocking orders because tomorrow is our last day. I have one order that is frustrating me because there is a problem with the order and the lady will not get back to me. She sent one short email in response telling me I could call her, but I don't do phone calls in the cell phone age. I'm hoping I don't have to cancel the order, but I can't do a thing with it until she gets back to me. Actually, that's been the only snag this whole season so I guess we've been lucky.

I have a large fudge order to fill and some other odds and ends. And then in January, we start all over for next year.

I am slowly getting the "dungeon" in some kind of order. It still looks like a wreck, but at least I know where to find stuff.

Word of the day:
First Sunday of Advent
Today the Church celebrates : St. Saturninus, Bishop and Martyr (+ 250)
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Luke 21:25-28.34-36.

There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand." Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man."
