Hi to everyone. Lookee here now...a new fridge, stove, dishwasher, and a microwave and hood which you cannot see. Also new baseboard heaters which were installed yesterday. We even have our thermostats set...which is great because it is very cold here. Tonight Dad and RJ are out there wiring outlets and smoke detectors. I'm inside all cozy blogging away. I hauled out Christmas decorations..not to set up yet but to look for some Christmas decorations for a Christmas Tea at church on Sat. I believe it's like the one your church had Natalie. Annie and I are in charge of decorating and we are doing it with a blue/silver snowflake theme. I'm bringing the china and glassware. We may do little favors for everyone depending on time.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!! We are incredibly thankful for where we are and what God has done in our lives. We have had 20 inches of snow within the last 24 hours!! That is a heap! Dad has already plowed like three times and he still has one more driveway and the walkways to go. Here is the progress we have made this past week on laying the laminate floor. We only have the hallway to go. I am so excited. The electrician will hopefully show up and do some finish wiring and then we will hang our light fixtures. Little by little progress is made.

Hi Everyone. Like this color? I wanted to show the pictures of the new countertops. Dad is in the garage and working to get things arrranged on shelves. Last weekend, Gretchen and I along with the neighbor kids helped Dad move all his tools and stuff into the newly painted garage.

The color of the High Mac (like Corian) coutnertops is called Desert Sand. The cabinets are called Spice and the walls are butter colored. The flooring is laminate and it matches pretty well. We will begin on that soon. Dad is leaving in about one week for one week it may have to wait. We also have to pick out lighting fixtures as well but the finish electical comes first. We are looking at purchasing a toilet right now while Home Depot has them on sale. We have been parking in the garage all week. Hooray! The temperature has been 0. BBbbbbrrrrrr!!
