We are expecting a dusting of snow this afternoon.

80% chance of snow Sunday into Monday.

I hope Tom drops by for Christmas. And I hope he's feeling better.

Mom's still in a lot of pain, from what she says.

Wrapped the presents I'm taking today and need to get started on the mac/cheese. All of the ingredients are ready.

Great to see you, Vixmom. Many Christmas blessings.

Listening to A Hollywood Christmas.

I just saw a cauliflower mac and cheese recipe online that looked kind of intriguing.

DR elmore3003 - can you tell us a little bit about Moonshine and Mistletoe? Was a company assembled to make the recording?

DR elmore3003 - can you tell us a little bit about Moonshine and Mistletoe? Was a company assembled to make the recording?

We wrote it in 2010 after DJ had heard the New York City Gay Men's Chorus somg my Appalachian Carols in the 2009 holiday concert. Three of the carols ended up in the show. It takes place in the late 1930s in a mountain holler outside Louisa Kentucky at the hime of Lessy Boy (Ulysses) and his wife Curleen. They hae three children: Della, mother of three and married to a coal miner; Dovey, the oldest and unmarried who has her eye on the new preacher; and Fewy Joe, who has run away to avoid working in the mines and is now working in a Lexingtn(?) lumber yard. NOTE: remember Joseph was a carpenter.

It's Christmas morning and the family and friends start showing up. Besides Dovey and Della and her family, the new minister and Lessy Boy's friend Wilmer, who's just been in court for peddling moonshine, and Lessy Boy's widowed sister and her adult son Arly, who is mentally challenged. Her husband has died in a mining disaster the year before. Curleen still grieves her missing son who's been away for several years and there's been no word. After dinner, the long-missing Dewy Joe shows up with his pregnant young wife, who goes into labor. Curleen and Dewey Joe have a tense, angry reunion before all ends happily. There's one last surprise.

We had a workshop of the show and a week of performances in November 2011 at the Hilton Head arts center, and a reading in 2015 after we added the song for Della and her husband "My Love Brought Me Summer on a Cold Winter's Day," but it was not well prepared. In August 2016, the York Theatre gave us a week's rehearsal and we had a pretty good reading. Our DR ChasSmith came to it.

The success of that got our producer working on a demo, which we recorded in March 2017. We selected the cast from the folk we really wanted who had done the various readings. For some reason, the produceer,. who's really a good guy, is dragging his heels about finishing the album and releasing it. I think the recording would push interest in a production or two.

Christmas Day greetings! We’ve had great fun so far, opening our stockings and a few presents. Everyone else went to an 11am service and I stayed home to get myself together for the rest of the day. I’m now enjoying a cup of coffee and a cookie.

Thanks, DR elmore3003. That really helps to put it in context.

We are watching Home Alone. The original one. I don't think I've ever seen one of these all the way through.

Last night the rain let up so I walked over to the church for the Christmas Eve Service. It was very nice. Our new minister did very well. He has two small children, and Mrs. Minister was very busy with Baby, who just turned one and learned how to run recently. She kept running off, so Little Boy, who is almost three, sat with me and played cars. He calls me Grandma, because my GS calls me that, of course.

So sweet

For the first time since my mother passed away, I am not doing the cooking. We are going to my son and daughter-in-law's house. We will have some delicious Filipino food this year.

That sounds great.

thanks to all at HHW for the vibes.

Waiting on a couple of checks to be added to the estate.....then working on getting the estate sale to the next level....probably an online auction of the remaining items.

Only one person has not picked up her selected items....my aunt of course. Hopefully she will do so next week.
