Christmas Carols Under the Stars — A Nice Surprise
A few minutes ago, I heard someone drive up into our driveway, so I went to investigate.
It turned out to be some of the youth from the Grape Creek Baptist Church, just up the road. They brought some chocolate-covered cherries to Mom and wanted to sing Christmas carols to her.
What they didn’t know was that she had just spread out to do her monthly budgeting and check writing and was pretty much blocked into her chair. I quickly helped her move the things so she could come to the back door and rushed back to tell them she’d be there in a couple of minutes.
Using her walker, she made it into the kitchen and we blocked the storm door open. I put a chair right behind her so she could sit and enjoy the music.
For the next few minutes, they sang the old familiar tunes she loves so much and it really brightened her day.
A few people singing in the back of a pickup truck — sometimes it’s the small things that really make someone happier. Thanks!
Happy Holidays to all of you,
JD

- John Worried about the world ending because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012? I've got bad news for you. I just noticed that my calendar expires on midnight December 31 this year! Don't tell me that this year's Possum Drop will be the last one! (grin). September 6, 2010
- John Good morning, friends. It's another beautiful, cool morning in the mountains. I woke up with an appetite for the first time in awhile. So, I proceeded to make the ugliest ham and cheese omelet you've ever seen. It was yummy! (grin). September 6, 2010
- John Good afternoon, Friends and Neighbors. It's another beautiful day in paradise here in the mountains. Cooler temps and sunny skies are just what I was looking for all summer. I'm loving it. September 5, 2010
- John Good morning, friends and neighbors. It's a chilly morning in the mountains and it's supposed to be sunshiny and beautiful. Heritage Walk and Festival in Murphy, NC today. Hope I get to go for a little while. Broke car. Feeling better than I have all week. Life is good! September 4, 2010
- John Good morning, friends and neighbors. It's a great day to live in the mountains. I'm starting to feel better and the nausea has gone away. Still very tired, but considerably better than yesterday. Thanks for all the good wishes, prayers, and support. September 3, 2010
- John The sun just went down behind the mountains and all the night noises are starting. I'm feeling better. Even on days when I don't feel so good, I love living here. September 2, 2010
- John Good afternoon, friends and neighbors. I'm up at the crack of noon and moving slowly. Just don't feel good today. Tired. Some nausea. Still going to try to find some humor and good music. Hope you're having a great day! September 2, 2010
- John Good morning! I enjoyed snuggling under the covers last night. It's a beautiful day. Still have the jitters and took a handful of assorted pills. Feeling okay, but very tired. August 31, 2010
