The Best Little Xmas Pageant Ever

FRIDAY
December 19

KRN woke us up this morning by texting. We had slept late until 7:30AM. Hubby was already downstairs sleeping on the couch with Bud next to him. Bud is SO soft, hubby says as I walk down the stairs.

I made breakfast & omelette. Fried up the sausage log & bacon for hubby's sandwich.

We took dogs for walk in park. It is cold out this morning 20F. So we waited until 9AM to go walk. We went on a different way in the horse area (some people tried parking beside us but fortunately saw us) There was an area to walk over a cliff & see garbage they had thrown there back in the 1950s. All of us walked down it. Hubby had on slippery boots so had to be very careful.

Then we drove to Bayview to feed about 6-7 ducks. They were VERY hungry. Walked to the end of the dock while the dogs waited in the Excursion.

Snowing.

Came back & unloaded dogs. Hubby had to take shop garbage to dump. He loaded it with Ben & Bud while I started baking Fruit Cake. He came to get me and we went to dump. Took along bones & knife gifts for Earl; Earl was not home. Leroy was gone, too.

Drove over to Chad's to give knife gift & bone to Angus. Angus was on the porch. She was sleeping with a kitty on a dog bed. She recognized us. Bounding over to us. Gave her the bone. She was happy. Left coloring books for kids.

Came home and I put Fruit Cake in oven. Hubby went to shop for a while.

KRN called and said they cannot get together with us for Xmas because Matt works Sunday.

I went down to shop to ask him to come home. He always works in the shop on his days off.

We put up L.E.D. lights outside. REALLY SNOWING HARD NOW. Got about 4 inches so far.

Got dressed & left by 6:00. I just wore jeans with my huge faux fur coat. I wanted to be comfortable. Since we were early arriving in Post Falls, we shopped for a few things at Super One. Hubby bought yogurt so he could snack on something. He was obsessed about getting water to drink.

We drove over to the JACC Center for the play The Best Little Christmas Pageant Ever. We both pottied before going in, hubby got a drink of water in the lobby.

Seats were cheap plastic & uncomfortable. The play turned out to be acted very poorly by over 20 kids & a few adults. It was AWFUL. No music. Kids were screechy and could not act. It was similar to going to a elementary school play...but at least there you would be going because you had a child you knew in the play. This was agony. There was no music, the play was pointless, the acting horrendous. Many things could have been done differently. We were both outraged that they even CHARGED for this.

We left mid-way thru the play. I did not want to sit for it any longer. Quite a few other people left, also.

Stopped to get burgers for dogs at Wendy's. Then we drove home slowly in the snow. No snowplows had been out at all.

Watched a little tv, then went to bed.
