Thomas woke up with his arm aching pretty badly. I should not have allowed him to exert himself so much the last couple of days. We really thought his arm was getting better but I will have to bandage it again. Fortunately, William left me with ample medical supplies for the everyday accidents that are bound to happen.
I feel a little silly. I just realized that Christmas will be here shortly. I really would like to take Thomas to town with me and attend church with my family. Thomas says there is a little sleigh in one of the out buildings and that it would be no trouble to harness one of the horses to it if I help him. We would have to start out very early in the morning to make it by evening services but if he does not mind and the weather holds, I imagine we will have a good time of it.
What a striking family the three of us would make - William, Thomas, and me. I can picture all three of us, some Christmas, setting out together in the morning, celebrating with family, and returning to our own warm home happy and full of cheer. It’s a beautiful picture.
