A Gift Idea and Other Preparations

I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but....

I have been waiting for the opportunity to post a gift idea, and since Cyber Monday is approaching, I thought now would be a good time. It is a game those of us in formation enjoy playing during recreation, and we found out about it like many other people: through word of mouth, since there is no formal advertising. It's that good of a game that there is no need for advertising.

It is called "Fill Or Bust" and you can buy it at http://www.fillorbust.com/. As of the date of this posting, it is $6.00. At this time, it can only be purchased online. It's a very fun game that can be played by two or more people. You can also play on teams or have a tournament.

Advent and preparations for Christmas are fast approaching:

• We received Waiting in Joyful Hope: Daily Reflections for Advent and Christmas 2011-12
• Tomorrow afternoon, we'll be baking Christmas cookies for our employees at the Motherhouse.
• I am practicing Coventry Carol and Up on the Housetop  on the guitar for a Christmas Recital.
• Just before the recital, we'll be having our Advent Reflections mini-retreat.
• Snow Shovels are out....
• The Fall Semester is quickly coming to an end...

Of course, all of this is after the Thanksgiving mass and meal tomorrow.....and we have a lot to be thankful for!
