<b>Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I was a little bit worried yesterday. My car was acting funny
yesterday morning. All the indicator lights were lit up and stayed lit
up all the way to work, even the "Passenger Door Ajar" one after I had
gone around and slammed all my doors with no result. By yesterday
afternoon when I got off work, it was back to normal. Maybe it was
just too early and too cold for it and it was protesting. Then when I
was in my living room yesterday evening, I kept hearing a funny
clicking sort of sound coming from down the hall or somewhere close
enough to make me think it was coming from my heating unit. (Not a
good thought to have just as it starts to get cold.) I walked over by
it and stood listening for a minute or so before I decided that
probably wasn't what it was and walked on down the hall into the
bedroom. I had just filled up my birdfeeders the day before and the
first thing I noticed was a beautiful red male cardinal sitting on top
of the feeder outside my bedroom window. Then I noticed that some of
our "winter guests ", (the ladybugs that come and live with us in the
winter), had gotten active and started crawling around on the bedroom
window. The next thing I knew, that crazy kamikaze cardinal was flying
into the window! I don't know if he was flying at his own reflection,
(I've heard of them doing that, trying to scare off the "other bird"),
or if he was trying to get at the ladybugs that were crawling on the
inside of the window! I was glad my mystery was solved in such a
harmless manner. (At least if he doesn't keep doing it today and knock
himself silly and one of the cats catches him!)<br>
<br>
I noticed on our website that <font color="#ff0000">Candlelighting
will be this Sunday at 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. in Mitchell Auditorium</font>.
I have seen several performances by our music groups since I've started
working here and they are well worth coming to. (And you can't beat
the price...FREE!) Come out and hear our wonderful student performers
celebrating the Christmas season. <br>
<font size="+2"><br>
Our menu for today includes:<br>
<br>
Meatloaf<br>
Scalloped potatoes<br>
Corn<br>
Green beans<br>
Sauerkraut and weiners<br>
Hot rolls<br>
<br>
Our fast food is Hot Ham and Cheese on a Bun and try a taste of the
tropics with a helping of Coconut Crunch for dessert.</font><br>
<br>
Have a great day, (I'm going to cause it's my birthday!)<br>
