Painted and Done

Well we are at the point that we can say, "whew".......! We will go shopping for carpet after Christmas and the we are done with the room. I think! As you can see the house has been painted and that was the last big project. Now the contractor will come and clean up the junk and level the ground. I hope that I can get my grass back to looking like a yard soon. It is a wonder we have not been kicked out of the neighborhood. With all that junk and a port a let in the yard for months, we looked like Sanford and Son.

We have not put up a Christmas tree or Christmas lights outside for the first time in 47 years. But it has not changed the true meaning of Christmas for us. we thank God for sending us his Son so that we may live with and spend eternity with him. God Bless all of you and Merry Christmas! We will get back on track with this Blog after Christmas.

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.” (Luke 2:16-20)

Just got this picture from Darenda, I think the kids are in "hog heaven".
