Rebecca and her college friend, Gwen waited until noon today when the ice had started to melt to make a dash back to Hollister before more freezing rain descend upon us tonight.
Last evening we enjoyed watching early James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small episodes on Rebecca's laptop computer, while sipping hot tea with milk, and turbinado sugar. Each year our Christmas tree which when assembled reaches about six feet is yet even more wobbly. Mum and I are thankful Rebecca came home, she is always able to work wonders with the stressed and precarious tree. It has now taken it's place on the right side of our fireplace looking quite cheery.
At last I have finished my assigned reading for cello studies. Joys and Sorrows- Reflections by Pablo Casals. What a read. It encompasses more than just his direct work with the cello and the fine tuning of playing techniques but also his work as a conductor and composer and how he was able to utilize his God given talents to help encourage peace between nations after World War II.
