HAPPY NEW YEAR !

I hope each of you rang the new year in safely and peacefully. Frank and I had a mostly quiet evening at home. The neighborhood set off fireworks and I slept through it... well, Frank said I talked through it.  He wanted to know what I said and I said I don't know... he was the one listening and I was sleeping :-).

I haven't slept well in weeks. With the damp weather we've had comes the flare up of bursitis in my hip. I see the doc on Monday and I know he will do something to help.

We are doing some more renovations to the house. The latest is taking David's old bedroom and making it an office.  It hasn't been David's bedroom for over 16 years.  It has mostly been a junk room/sewing room.  It wasn't always this  messy... this is the packing up stage :-)

The paneling was removed.  The carpet was removed along with padding.   Underneath was another layer of padding.  It was stuck to the floor and Frank scraped it up and I swept.  Then Frank ran the shop vac over it. What a mess!

Looking better!   The picture shows one of the old windows.  As you can tell we live in a house made from cement blocks.

This shows a bit of both old windows and the newly painted ceiling.

One of the new windows.  They were a bit hard to put in.  Frank is smart and figured out how to get past the glitches.

Next we put up drywall. So you see we are busy.  Busy is good.  

Of course I'm still addicted to the games on Face Book  :-D

My thoughts and prayers to each of you.

Christmas Is Nearing

*
This year has been a little weird... at times it has flown by and others it has dragged.

Here we are nearing Christmas again!

I'm still reading. I'm on the fourth book in the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn. I'm still playing games at Face Book... how addictive!   I renewed some friendships from high school through Face Book and that has been an unexpected surprise.

I'm relatively well. I've had sinus problems that created voice problems. My voice is coming back so soon I will be back to my normal.. crazy self.  Frank is doing well.  He has been readying things to remodel one of our bedrooms that will become our office.  He hasn't worked  his muscles this much in a while :-)

We do have family that are sick and prayers for them would be welcome.  So many I can't write them all out.  Some with viruses and some suffering from the pains of aging.

A few weeks ago we went down to my folk's homestead down in Baker County GA. I chased butterflies... unfortunately they perched almost too high in the tree for a decent picture. I love seeing them anyway and hope you do too.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Hello Y'all !!!!!!

I just dropped in to to wish each of y'all a blessed Thanksgiving Day. 

We are counting our blessings.  

We will be striving to not eat too much at our feast  :-)  

All is well here and I hope the same is true in your neck of the woods.

Hugs !!
