The one with the roll recipe
Last night's event with Andy's wind ensemble was fun. It was really pouring rain, so we were all in that "shelter from the storm" mentality when we arrived. Food was meh, but we sat with two nice couples - older like us, and both with only children - like us. It was great to meet them. Of course they are all proud of their children (and should be.) One of them told me a joke she made up driving to work the other day:
What do pirates put on their Christmas trees?
Arrrrrrrrrnaments.
Come on. You did laugh, didn't you? We thought it was quite funny, and there wasn't even any wine!
We got home around 9 ish. Spouse had to finish some classwork, but I crashed into bed around 10, and I think he came up around 11:30.
We're so exciting.
Tonight is our town's holiday stroll which starts with the college lighting its Christmas tree. Andy is going to meet me here. Spouse has an afternoon appointment, so he'll meet us at home.
And why are they only playing four Christmas songs on the radio? I keep hearing Jingle Bells, The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Little Drummer Boy and All I want for Christmas. Variety! Puleeze!
And for now, that's what I got.
Oh - I almost forgot: Here is the roll recipe.
