I Feel a Little Christmas

I was invited over to dinner by a family that goes to my church. I always enjoy dinners like this and tonight was no exception. It started with their son showing me his pit bike. He let me ride it. I have never ridden a motorcycle before. There was no clutch (apparently they are made like that). There was a 150cc engine. There was a wheelie. There was no intention of a wheelie. There was no injury. It was fun and I learned two things: 1)Why people like riding motorcycles and 2) Why people get so seriously injured on motorcycles.
Then he showed me their tree house. It has three levels and was actually pretty cool. My friend Brian would have liked it because it was a great tree house and a good tree to climb.
Then we had dinner, which was an excellent soup/stew called Snowy Day Cassole (or something like that).
Afterward we took a drive through Eagle Hills to look at the lights. It was cool out (54degrees) and driving past all the lights, in a car with good friends, seeing people with coats and hats on, and feeling the cool air outside and heat inside gave me the feeling of winter and Christmas for the first time this year. And then I came home to the lights on my tree.
