Getting ready for Christmas.

Kathleen and I have been reading aloud one chapter of the Gospel of Luke each day since first December. During this fast I have been making lots of soups. (Vegetable stock is very versatile.) All the presents have been bought if not yet wrapped. I'll get them wrapped and into the mail on Monday. I baked 12 more fruitcakes this morning. Athanasia and Basil will be here for Christmas dinner. I'm planning to make a crown pork roast.
