December 2007

Merry HoHoHo. tis the season and all that. I have to say I am almost ready for the holiday as far as presents go. I have made most of the adults gifts this year. and it seems nice to have used my time well. and the vases came out nice. the fun in learning a new craft and the pain to work thru all part of my new life.
I sent cards this year first in several they were boxed but they were cards. I hope next year I can make cards again. It's a good goal.
House blues, tho we have the outside almost complete the inside has only insulation in the walls, this company (HiLine Homes) is a hurry up and wait company. they want you to hurry and be ready for them to do their work but they take amazing amouts of time to get workers to the house then they work 2-4 hours and leave not to return for weeks. I am discouraged that we are not going to be in by Christmas, we are now hoping for Valentines Day.
Johnnie has been working everyday on the landscaping since he tore the other house down. the new rock wall he built is beyond beautiful. words cannot describe the before and after of that lot. he is amazingly talented. he has thought it, planned it, framed it, mixed, dyed, and poured it, almost alone Zane has helped when he could.
I so look forward to being there our first night........
the changes we will make in the first year should be amazing I am looking forward to rebeginning our tradition of the mid-winter BBQ so mark your calendars for February 2009 it will be spectacular.
