Thanksgiving

Well, we had a nice Thanks Giving dinner. I meant to take a before and after picture, but forgot the before one. Here is the after one, as you can see the table reaches all the way into the living room. There were only 15 here today for dinner, usually there are 25 or more. They will all be here for Christmas though.



Yall come see us when ya can.

Almost Thanksgiving down south

 
 Hi Yall.

We are back from the river, the cabin has a new roof and I replaced the broken skylight and the water damaged floors.  There is still a lot of work ahead for the Spring, but everything is in order for the winter weather.  I didn't quite get finished with the roof, but I got tired and we came home anyway.  I only lack 1/2 of the roof on the deck (about 3 bundles of shingles) and the tornado didn't hurt them to badly.  We had a lot of rain when we first got there but then it cleared off and the weather was nice for Friday, Sat and Sunday.  On the way up there we were hit by a hose cap off of a propane tanker, it weighs about 5 pounds.  I came through the front windshield on the passenger side, glanced off the door post, took out the back glass then bounced back up to the front, clipping my ear and hat before landing on the dash, breaking the windshield again and the speaker and speaker grill.

Lucky for us it missed us except for brushing my ear, so neither of us was hurt.  I taped up the windshield and put some cardboard in the back window for the trip home and I reckon on Monday I will get them replaced.

Anyway, the good Lord was watching out for us and we are home safely.

Well well well, guess who came to supper - Yep, Dave & Karen Barker, all the way from Vancouver, BC



 
 Hello all, we just spent a very nice evening with David (Uncle Cecil & Aunt Janet's eldest son) and Karen Barker.  It was a very nice visit but the time flew so fast, it seemed like they had just arrived and it was time for them to go.  They are touring the state of Tennessee this year.  Mary and I hope they will come again one day soon.
