We did get a couple of light snow showers. Saturday it snowed just enough to give the city that Christmas feel. But it\u2019s going to be gone soon when our temps rise back up above December averages.<\/p>\n<p>Today, mom and I engaged in our annual \u201chunt for an open restaurant on Christmas\u201d drive. Google maps said \u201cyes, they\u2019re open\u201d. But we found empty parking lots in those places. I was driving, so naturally I got us into a couple of spots where I had to turn us around. Mom just laughed.<\/p>\n<p>We finally ate at Red Lobster. The meal was not what it could have been. But mom liked her fries and her decaffeinated coffee, and we both liked the cheddar biscuits. But most of all, we both greatly enjoyed each other\u2019s company.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re enjoying each other as much as we can, while we still can. There have been several fatal car accidents around here lately, including one that tragically took the lives of four teens. There are many hurting families out there this Christmas, and it breaks my heart. So make sure to enjoy friends and family this holiday season while they are still around.<\/p>\n<p>I hope your Christmas was very merry indeed. Have a Happy New Year. Thank you for being my patrons. See you in January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming January rewards The 15th chapter to Aravanna The 15th chapter to Katia A summer of Cassidy Eager girls A day at Lake Malawi A special request The call of the lake One way boat ride Pool lovers No more &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/?p=17904\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17904","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-riwas-reads"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17904","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=17904"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17904\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17906,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17904\/revisions\/17906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=17904"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=17904"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riwaslibrary.com\/story\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=17904"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
