THE HOLIDAYS

Well, Thanksgiving is past and Christmas is approaching and my last blog was Halloween. I guess I need to catch everyone up on what's been happening around here lately. Several months ago Del was given the opportunity for a job transfer. Not liking the commute downtown to work he took a job in a very small town and we started to look for a house. Many months later and no house or no prospect of getting a house or land anywhere close to his job he was given the opportunity to transfer again. This job was near the town where I was raised. He decided to take that job so we could be closer to my parents. We wanted Nora to be around them more and spend more time on the farm where they live. We are grateful to God for this opportunity. After about a month of looking at houses we found an older house that needs a lot of work but we liked the location and the house should be very comfortable when it's finished. We close on the house on December 19th. We'll post before and after pictures when the house is finished because we don't want to scare anyone. There is a lot to be done there but maybe in a few months we'll be ready to move in.

We took some pictures at my sisters house this weekend and I thought I would post a few. We've been so busy going back and forth between Del's new job site and our home that we haven't decorated for Christmas. We are at my parents house so much we may not decorate here.
