This morning Justin and I went to Publix to get some more soda and few other things for our meal tomorrow, and then stopped at Metro Diner for breakfast. I had not eaten breakfast there before, instead ordering a lunch instead. Today, I took the leap and enjoyed a wonderful breakfast meal!
Justin wishing to not pose for the photo as we await our food to arrive. He ordered only a chicken biscuit with our plan to have him help me with my meal. This was an excellent idea.
My meal came with eggs and hashbrowns. I didn't try the eggs but Justin said they were good. I very much enjoyed about a fourth of the hashbrowns. See my former neighbor's name peeking out from under the plate (Travis Cummings, State Rep.)
This sausage gravy and biscuits was fantastic, almost as good as my friend, Judy's, gravy! I ate half and Justin finished them off.
When Justin and I got home, we were met these wet vacs, now at rest after their workout yesterday. My heart aches for those who suffered damage and are displaced today.
Just before Justin and I left for the first service of the night, the moon rose over the river
This is the first time I've seen the luminaries put out in front of our church and along the sidewalk. See Cliff carrying the bin after placing them along the street. This might be the last time it happens, though, since our Altar Guild lady who took care of this is leaving us.
We had a good attendance for the Christmas service with children participation and our choir's involvement

Justin and I were back to church for the 10:00 pm candlelight service. Since I am usually not here at this time year, I don't know how many people usually attend. Tonight we were blessed to have 7 people join us from Christ, Keystone Heights, which swelled our numbers to 24. Pastor plus two gentlemen, including Ryan, above, helped him read the passages which accompanied the Christmas hymns and carols.
Michael is taking a turn at doing some readings. He also served as acolyte and usher for the service.
