Yes, I am amazed that I haven't blogged since early Fall!! So involved with room addition, new plumbing, new bathroom and washroom, plus a a porch on the back to observe the birds and breathe the fresh air!! I got to be the contractor with an intelligent young man's help finding contractors....and all went well!! The inspector and I became well acquainted with one another through all the inspection processes!! I think I got an A !!
Anyway, just to let you know we are well and had a low key Christmas here after traveling early to share all the gifts with grand kids. Here are a few views from Walnut Street (and the kids in our lives), even though we didn't decorate much but know and cherish the real meaning of Christmas .... and we celebrate that all year! The birth and resurrection of a Savior, JESUS CHRIST .... our Savior that gives HOPE, PEACE and LOVE in this chaotic world. I pray you experience HIS SPIRIT that lives forever!! Enjoy the little details from here! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! And BLESSINGS!!!
