home sweet home

After three weeks in a hotel, we are back at home. When they started tearing down walls and sanding drywall, it was time for us to move out! Fortunately, we found a nice place with a big suite for a reasonable price only a couple of miles away. The nice part was 20 days of no cleaning and very simple cooking! The hard part was trying to prepare for Christmas! But I used the time to get all my shopping done, gifts wrapped, and stockings stuffed!

We are very happy...thrilled, really, with our new family room, laundry room and pantry. Our contractor employs quality people who do excellent work. It's going to take some getting use to...having all this room! I hope to be able to post pictures soon.

We are having our family Christmas this Sat, so I have much to do to get ready. Lots of rearranging (lots of stuff got crammed in bedrooms to clear out the areas where the work was being done) plus shopping and cooking. But I am so happy that we will be able to celebrate here.

As I sit here looking around, I am overwhelmed with gratitude for God's provision for us. It has been a long time coming, but as it always is when it comes to the works of God, it was worth the wait!
