Donna and Russell

 

Last Sunday the pastor's sermon was about 'Peace'.  Decided that was the best way to celebrate the season.  I didn't stress over the Christmas Eve dinner for Brother Russell and Sister-in-Law Donna.  Didn't worry if the house was spic & span.  I didn't freak out when I checked Mjolnir this morning and found five flies alive and kicking.  The meal turned out OK  (they cleaned their plates).  When Russ & Donna came over I turned off most of the lights in the house and lit candles (makes for a nice Christmassy mood and hard to see any stray pet hair in the half-light).  I managed to kill all five flies during the day.  At least there weren't any flying while I showed around the guest staying there tonight.   Made for a very pleasant day.  As the pastor pointed out - peace is like a river and sometimes there is whitewater.
