Saturday
Dear Elsie
Christmas Eve! We began the day by going to the beach. The wind was from the north and was slightly cool. The water was cooler too, but it was nice and clear and there were quite a few people on the beach & in the sea. I swam to the barrel and back and then towards the lighthouse. Then I swam back to the barrel. There were loads of fishing boats. The trek fishermen were out catching lots of fish and there were a number of others trying to get in on the action. I figured that where there are fish there could be bronze whalers, so I stayed towards the cat walk side of the beach.
On our way home, the shark siren sounded, so I was glad to have missed that.
Home and then out for breakfast with Julian.
I had a lovely chat with you, young Elsie & your Mom. You are growing so tall and speaking so well! I’m sure you are so excited tonight!
We spent the rest of the day relaxing and I did some preparation for tomorrow.
And now it is a quiet Christmas Eve. We watched an episode of The Office as well as Happy Christmas Mr Bean which is always a laugh.
Lovely stress-free days at the moment.
Luke 2:16-20
[The shepherds] hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby [Jesus], who was lying in the manger. When they had seen Him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed… But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
Gran xx 🙂
