That put us late to get to church at 8:30 -- we even skipped breakfast -- but it turns out that they had rescheduled everything to 9:00, so we had plenty of time.
At church, we sat in the balcony, so she could get a good view. But she says she can't hear the words of the sermon, just the music and the general noise of the congregation. Seems they should do captions to help those, like Mom, with hearing problems.
After the main service, we went to her Sunday School class. This was a service followed by a lunch at Harlow lodge, not the main building.
After we got home, we called John to let him know I was in town. John and Karen stopped over, on their way back from shopping, and we gave them the gifts and things from Texas and from Mom. They will be going down to Napa on Thursday Dec 22.
After that, Mom got to work on her Christmas cards.
I went out to try to pick out the plates that we need to send to Replacements.com. This turned out to be fairly easy. The list I had printed was sorted by box. Once I found the box, I had the list of item numbers. Each plate has a small sticky label with its item number, so it was simply selecting the plates from each box that were on the list. This gives me a big pile of plates. I need to go over them to check that each is what is needed, and find some boxes in which to pack them.
Mom remembers that John was named after the song "Every Tom, Dick and Harry's Named John". Using Google, we were able to determine that this is a Guy Lombardo song from February 1953. It was issued on Decca Records 28546 by Guy Lombardo & His Royal Canadians, one side of which was
John, John, John (Every Tom, Dick And Harry's Called John)
and the other side is
I'm Skipping Rope With A Rainbow
But we can't find the lyrics or a copy of the music.
