Special events

My daughter and I got up early yesterday, picked up two friends and headed off to zumba at the rec center. In lieu of an entrance fee, we brought some items for the local women's shelter. There was a good turnout, perhaps not as many as last year, the instructor said, but still a number of people showed. It was a nice break for my friend and her husband who are struggling with finding a nursing home for an elderly aunt. My sister and I are attending the Advent dessert by candlelight at her church on Monday. First the dessert and fellowship and then the talks on the four candles of the Advent wreath--peace, hope, joy and love.
