Seems I'm becoming a craft fair “junkie” as this trip out on the East Coast I’ve been to 3! Saturday went to one at a local high school with quality nice crafts…a little Christmas shopping but mostly just looking!
Sunday morning began with 8:30 worship at 1st Baptist Woodbridge and then left immediately for 10 am worship at Covenant Presbyterian of Woodbridge. CP is co-pastored by Bev and Knox Swayze. (Bev is the daughter of Ron and Sharon Rice, known to all of my West Side family.) Such a blessing to be there for their Christmas cantata during the morning service, followed by a Christmas cookie bake sale supporting local mission work. I was delighted to support them! I will definitely make a return visit to CP on a future trip to Virginia and maybe lunch with Bev!
Sunday afternoon Laurie and I attended a Four Seasons Seasonaires holiday concert! Seasonaires is a group of 22 Four Season vocalists, some have been involved since the group began 10 years ago! It was a wonderful couple of hours of great music followed by tasty sweet treats.
And more music Monday evening as Kris and Laurie’s grandson Micah had his school Christmas concert. The evening began with the orchestra of two cellists, the band was next and it size doubled to four (one sax, trumpet, clarinet and percussionist). They were small but they did a good job! So fun! Then finally what we had driven 2 hours to hear the 40 member 4th and 5th grade choir in which Micah was a part. They sang four songs including Micah’s favorite “Mele Kalikimaka”!
Now I’m sitting at Reagan International waiting to board Flight 3 to Seattle! Will be leaving blue skies and sunshine for some good Pacific Northwest rain! Looking forward to connecting with family and friends over Christmas! Next post will come the end of January unless I include a few Christmas pictures!
Trip notes: have driven over 10,000 miles, paid the most for gas when I left Seattle it was $4.79, yesterday in Virginia the lowest $2.87!
