Joys and Concerns:
- It was a joy for Debbie and Phil to host our Advent celebration again this year – and so nice to have all the Kruschwitzes join us!
- Cheryl’s neighbor, Richard, has entered hospice care. Sadly, he may not make it until Christmas.
- Grace is home from college. Cheryl enjoyed dinner with Grace and her family this week!
