I thought I would let everyone know what is going on

It ihas been almost 1 month since i posted last. Too busy to do anything but lurk. Sorry. Let's see so far since the last post I have:
1. finished my English class. I made a B.
2. Bought material for the work that needs to be done on the house.
3. Finished my Christmas shopping and got everything wrapped. Sorry Grace, I am
not going to tell everyone what I got you for Christmas on my blog.
4. Got most of my holiday baking done. I only have to bake Brownies for the guys
who will be working on my kitchen while I am on vacation. The plane leave for
VA @ 7:10 am on Saturday 12/15, and demolition starts Monday around 8ish
(depending on the traffic from their house to my house).
5. Have a final in Ethics Tuesday night. So far, I have A in that class.
6. Got my eyes examined. My near-sightedness is now more far-sightedness. It
happens as we get older. We don't get older, only our children do, right?

Please continue to pray for Mrs. Riffe, she fell and broke her arm.

Also, continue to pray for one of our church members, Ron Worley. He got a new liver last Monday and needs a lot of rest. We have been praying for a new liver for quite some time for him.


I am really getting excited about my new kitchen. I can't wait to prepare my first meal in my new kitchen. The stove and refrigerator are not new ( I bought them last year) but when I go to prepare the meal, I will be able to put dishes in the sink and not have to use the sink as part of a countertop anymore. I figure I should have about 5 more feet of countertop space. I will then not need the piece of plywood to place over my sink so I have room to put food on the counter for a big holiday meal. I will also have 14 electrical sockets ( 3 doubles and a single outlet) to be able to plug in something more than the coffee pot and the toaster. I will post pictures as soon as they are done.

I won't be here for most of the work. That is very hard for me to do. I am so curious as to how it will be taken apart and put back together it is almost killing me to leave. But if I stay, I will be in the way. So, I will just have to sacrifice the warm weather of Florida for the cold of Virginia for few days. Pray for us as Grace is driving back.

If I don't get a chance to post before 12/25. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Remember the reason for the season.
