Amelia's here!

My cold is progressing. Still congested, some coughing, but I think it's getting better. I didn't go to the Fellowship in the morning; Ray had to go, he was a greeter. The children sang; I would have enjoyed it. I made cranberry-oat bread. I did laundry. We had pancakes. Leftovers for lunch. Played cards. At 3:30, packed up the baked goods from the freezer and went to the Fellowship. Although I did okay during warm-ups, I couldn't really sing much of the time--and I coughed a lot. Not my favorite way to perform a meditative service. Captain stayed home. Ray and Vanessa picked up some groceries after they dropped me off and came back for the service.

Meanwhile Amelia called a couple of times to tell us about their progress. She and Kevin rented a car and drove from NY, starting in early afternoon. We went to bed before ten and most of us woke up about 3:30 when she arrived, having left kevin and his house. Roads were clear and no problems, although they did see cars off the road from the day before, covered with snow. and there was still snow into North Carolina. Now she is here and all is well.
