We spent Saturday in Woodstock. It was Wassail Weekend, with a winter parade. It was the most beautiful parade we had ever seen. Down the street came the most magnificent horses decked out in Christmas holly, bells, & ribbons, etc. with riders & carolers in period costume.
We also went to the Home Tour of several historic homes, beautifully decorated with holiday decor. We had a really fun day ending with a good meal at Bentley's.
Due to a bad ice storm, our power was out for two days last weekend. The worse thing was, we could not take a shower or use the toilet, because we have a pump for water. Our apt. got kind of cool and had to go to bed early. We where so glad when it finally came back on! There are still several thousand homes without power in nearby towns.We had the privilege of helping at new member lesson for a newly baptized couple, the Olado's. The former bishop of the Ward & his wife, the Cass's invited us to a nice dinner, with the lesson after. The Olado's have a wonderful spirit and will be a great addition to the Ward. We are excited for them.
Another fun experience we have had recently, is going to the Fennie's for their annual missionary dinner (Vorwaller's, Mckinnon's, Sanford's & us) . Every year for the last 8 years, or so, they have had a nice dinner for the senior missionaries around the Christmas season. Sister Fennie has had 2 serious surgeries in the past few months, because of a brain aneurysm. She is truly a great inspiration for us all, and has a beautiful singing voice! They have 3 great kids @ 7, 11 & 12.
