Good morning,
The day after Christmas is here. We ate too much! But the food was excellent - too excellent. Our main meal we ate about 1:30 P.M. or so. I meant we really didn't need a big supper, so just nibbled on herring and a piece of sour cream apple pie. Well .... At least I had a piece of pie.
The main meal was excellent - a definite do-again! The roulade was excellent and something I had never had before. It appears to be a piece of steak, spread with spices, then rolled up and tied in a net bag to roast. It really is good and a neat way to prepare a pieces of meat. Very tasty. A Margriet said, "A good one!" There are some leftovers for us to enjoy it again. With the roulade we had some vegetable baked with it and some stuffed mushrooms. Of course there also was a glass of wine. AND some sour cream apple pie for desert.
There were very few people in church. Everyone must have been recovering from Christmas Eve. Another one of our young girls demonstrated her musical skills during the offering. The acolyte didn't show up, so as the service was about to start, I got up to light the candles. One of the ushers had the same idea, so I let him do it. Thankfully I did. The candles had burned down to nothing and could not be lit. The candle is incased in a tube, spring loaded to keep the burning tip showing. To replace the candles, the insides have to be taken out, cleaned, and a new candle inserted. That can't be done easily, so the candles were taken to the kitchen for the operation. The service started about 6-7 minutes late and Howard was in a rush trying to catch up as his routine was some disturbed. We still had a good worship service.
Neither one of us did a lot yesterday, other than Margriet cooking and me eating. Margriet thinks we should be European and have two Christmas Holidays, today being the second, and not do anything. We really don't do much any day really. We probably will not do too much. Not going anywhere near a shopping center.
Walking in the woods yesterday, I found a lot of new tracks. A couple set from critters I didn't expect. There are many opossum tracks. We have not had too many of them around here in the past, but know this area was over run my them in years past. Guess I will need to get the traps set again. I also saw a lot of "dog" tracks, but I don't think they are from dogs. There have been sightings of a lot of coyotes in the area. For some reason they have come into our area. While I have not seen any, I suspect that is what left them. Not too sure how to control them. Will have to do some research on that. Not too crazy about having them around. They can do some serious damage to the wildlife, to the point of eliminating some species, then moving on to a different area.
Guess it is about time to get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
