A day...

We had a leisurely morning....well, until we got out of bed at least:)

Breakfast at A&W, spoke with a few friends there...

Rushed over to the Co-Op to see if we could get one of those free car timers that Sask Power were giving away....too many people so we didn't even go in.  Husband said he didn't know why he was going to get one anyway as we already had one:)

Off to look for purple or mauve candles at Adam's Book Store on Central.  It's the first Sunday in Advent tomorrow.  The colors of the Advent wreath are purple (mauve) for three Sundays -  "Hope", "Love" and "Peace", one pink candle for the Sunday of "Joy" and a white "Christ Candle" in the middle for Christmas Eve.  I found mauve ones that will have to do.  I sent poor husband off to look for purple candles every day this week.  He phoned me at work to say he found some mauve ones and I said that that color would be quite adequate if there were no purple ones anywhere.  They were reasonably priced so he brought home a bag of them...some for home too.  His mauve and my mauve are two very different colors.  His mauve is a "burgundy" shade of red whereas my mauve is the lighter color of purple...like lilacs, I told him.  A color conversation ensued with words that included  "stubborn", "teachable", "refuse" and the like.  He was a good sport to have gone to so many shops to find his "mauve" candles though.  If he had known what color "mauve" was to begin with, he would only have had to go to the first shop!!!



The afternoon was spent in good conversation with daughter.

So, I think tomorrow morning is all set.  Practice at 8:30, prayer at 9:15, worship at 10 - 11 and the evening the Youth will host an Advent Program...with dessert to follow....and games!  If you're wondering what to do on a Sunday evening, come on out.  It should be quite entertaining!

Sleep well, friends.....
