Two pictures today--yesterday's and today's.

This picture doesn't quite capture yesterday, but I liked it anyway. My sister and I went with two of our friends from church to visit another friend at the coffee shop she works at. I got Gumby and Pokey for the white elephant exchange at the New Year's Eve party. Anyway, we had a splendid day of visiting and shopping (and enjoying Steak n Shake, which we don't have out in Virginia).

Yes, this is my sister vacuuming a Christmas tree. Trust me, if we didn't vacuum it, it would make quite a mess when Dad takes it up to the attic. Only the trees that get the plastic snow need to be vacuumed, though. Our aunt is here for the weekend, so we worked on taking down Christmas. Next week, Sarah and I are headed back to Virginia. I need to find out if ETSU has sorted things out yet. I'm wanting to transfer there this semester, but the weekend before Christmas they lost my high school transcript. Sigh. But I guess it's what I get for not sending everything off as early as I should have.
