Have you seen one of these Coco-cola Freestyle Fountains? I saw one recently. If you are a soda fan, it seems like a neat innovation. You can mix your own flavours of Coke using touch screen technology, with a choice of 100 combinations.
I went to church yesterday on a rainy Sunday morning. I had to drive over as it was too wet to really walk comfortably. I entered the church and it sounded like they had piped Christmas-sounding music reverberating through the halls, it was really cheerful and joyous, something new, I thought. When the mass started, a Filipino priest visiting from Jamaica gave a moving sermon. It seems he is newly ordained, 3 weeks. Towards the end of mass that joyous singing started up again. Then I realized it wasn't a recording, it was an ebony-skinned young man (from Jamaica) singing effortlessly beside the choir. His lovely voice reverberated high into the ceiling, without being loud. The congregation applauded after the song. I'm saying, he could win X-factor no problem. I didn't recognize the beautiful song. The candle was lit for the first week of Advent. What a treat we had that day!
I happened to be sitting nearby a woman and her son. Her daughter had attended pre-school with my daughter L, so we were able to quickly catch up on what the girls were doing before mass started. The son is now 11 years old, how quickly time flies. Then later on, I turned to shake 'the hands of peace', another couple I knew happened to be sitting behind me. I was able to share with them my amazement at the talented singer!
My friend S was supposed to meet me for a walk afterward, but we cancelled due to the rain.

It sounds like you had a beautiful Sunday morning! Those Coke machines are way cool. We don't have them in Colombia...but the next time I visit the States, I'll look for one. :)
Rainy day here on Sunday, too. I think it kept people away from church as attendance was smaller than usual. Also rained at the time of the Christmas party so fewer kids came as many walk to church. But, we desperately need rain here. I love Advent season.
