Second Sunday of Advent

It's December, and Advent, so Sundays seem to fill up with activities very quickly. First thing on my agenda today was giving blood for a friend of mine who is going through treatment and surgery for mutiple myeloma. However, the donation person said that since I had been to Belize this year, I was unable to donate right now. I'll have to wait until I've been back in the states for one year.

Second Sunday of Advent means Advent Workshop at church - a place to go make crafts for Christmas. I volunteered to man a table, and I was assigned the treat cans.


Last on the agenda was a string quartet concert given by my friends, the Lemonwood Quartet. This is the group I played substitute viola for this summer. In the concert, Chris (first violin) put together a powerpoint slideshow to help illuminate the various musical themes. She used photos from her trip to Austria, and I found the whole experience quit enjoyable.
