Disappointment

We started out this morning with two disappointments. First, we thought there was a square dance, but when we got to the park, we found no dance today. We had checked the RGVSD website, which did not show the dance as dark today, but it turns out that it is always dark on the third Saturday. The experienced C-2 dancers all know that.

Next, Jan found an ad in the Winter Texan offering a butterfly table and chairs in light or dark oak on sale at Craig's Furniture Store. We were excited and called to order the light oak, but it turns out that the manufacturer has discontinued the light oak, and it's only available in dark oak. Sigh.

Since we were in Pharr, we decided to go to Costco. We went to the nearby At Home store first. That store turned out to be actually the same as the Garden Ridge store we visited in Flower Mound. We found a step stool I've been looking for the last two years, so that was good, but the only other thing we found was a box of marked down Christmas cards.

Our replacement florescent tubes for the kitchen arrived yesterday, so today we replaced the two burned out bulbs. Now the kitchen is twice as bright!

Tonight we watched Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir on PBS. It offered a variety of songs and dance and even staging of A Christmas Carol, and all with lovely harmonies.
