Miser Family Update, Out-and-about version

Life continues to be rich and full in the Miser Mom household.  Last week was just a whirlwind of activity out in the community.  We party-hopped from one exciting event to another.

"FlapJack Fest" at my college.  

• Sunday night, my husband had to miss his Antifa potluck with his new anarchist friends because we were Christmas caroling with my (evangelical, presbyterian) church.
• Monday, we delivered fresh-baked springerle to our neighbors, and N-son and I-daughter sang with their chorus at our local rescue mission.
• Tuesday, I served my usual Tuesday breakfast at the same local rescue mission in the morning, and then a bunch of us served a pre-exam round of breakfast-at-night in our college's dining hall. 
• Wednesday, a bunch of us had a few rousing games of Christmas bowling at a nearby bowling alley.   That was a hoot!
• Thursday, we got to see N-son play in a squash tournament, and then I gave my students an exam.  (Would you like an exam for Christmas?  I'm so generous!)
• Friday, my husband and I got to join a bunch of other cheerful citizens who listened to N-son and I-daughter sing at a concert in a local restaurant/entertainment venue.  That was a great evening.

• Saturday, we went to a holiday party at the home of the person I consider to be my spiritual mentor.  

Phew!   I really love this time of year.  I couldn't keep this pace up most of the time, but it's so much fun to dip into the whirlwind of friends, community, music, and celebration every once in a while.

I love the toddler near by, the older man sitting on his wife's knee,
and the teenagers in the distance. This really was an eclectic gathering!

And that's the news from the Miser Family, which continues to be wealthy in adventures.  May you and yours be similarly prosperous.
