My car is at the dealership today (very hard to start in the morning), so I've been home most of the day. Got more decorations on the buffet, mostly silver and glass candlesticks and a wreath. The Advent candles will get changed to white on Christmas. I only light all the candles on Christmas Eve or when company comes. The diningroom table is 95% empty, and I'll get rid of the remaining 5% tonight.

Our music group played at our local hospital (in the lobby, mostly for staff and visitors) last Saturday, and we're going back again on Thursday evening.

Making Chicken-Taco soup tonight--almost like chili, but thinner-- good with corn chips.
