It is a good thing that we planned Christmas day around a trip to the Elgin Opera House to see Irving Berlin's "White Christmas"...We picked Pam up at 1pm under threatening skies...Had a few snow flurries on the way...We were soon seated, popcorn and drinks in hand...Their popcorn is excellent...The show was first rate, incredible scenery and costumes for such a small company and the talent is amazing coming from the Grande Ronde Valley...It really helps to have EOSU (University) in LaGrande and its theater program...They performed to an almost full house and we enjoyed the singing and dancing and appreciated the time and energy that goes into a performance like this...It was a magical performance with lots of laughs... We left to the strains of "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas".
Walked outside into a winter blizzard and so glad to have Herb to drive us home as in Minam Canyon the storm was intense with snow piling up...It snowed clear to Lostine, then dwindled away and we arrived in Joseph to the same scene we left some four hours earlier...At least we had our "White Christmas" and an enjoyable afternoon.
We visited around our table eating soup, bread, salad and ended the day with pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream....It was a nice day.
Rusty chatted in this morning, home from Mitchell, after eating way too much food he said...Waiting now to catch up with Bobi and hear about their Christmas...Hugs to All...OWAV:)
