Making Progress

Hello all. It is Saturday afternoon and I feel I got quite a bit accomplished today. Needed to do a good cleaning in my room, so feel much better about that now. I have been working quite long days so haven't been able to keep up with the daily chores as well. Also, just finished baking a few dozen Christmas cutout cookies. I needed to take a treat along for the Christmas distribution on Tuesday and these should do just fine. All the gifts are wrapped and I am feeling pretty prepared for the day. It has been a long haul, but I am very much looking forward to seeing all the families at the church. I think it will be wonderful! I am going to sing "O Beautiful Star of Bethlehem" at the service so I am pretty excited about that. Angela's two children are also singing and I think that will be adorable.

We had a pretty good load of rain the other day. The schools in Clay County were closed on Wednesday because of flooding in the hollers and on the back roads. Also, the wind was unbelievable and that created some problems with trees uprooting and toppling. I made it into work just fine because I take a main road to get there, but there was a huge amount of water along side the roads and the creeks were really swollen. It is kinda neat to see it all but you hate to think of the possible damage for people in their homes.

Soon I will be heading back to Wisconsin for the holidays. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone back home and worshiping at my home church. It will be a treat to see my church family.

Also, a note to Dave and Dori. I have had one beer since September 17th, so I will be stopping in for a few ;) I do want to see you both and the kids so I hope we can find a day to do that.

Blessings to all and I look forward to seeing all the snow that you have had in the last few days.

God Bless
Jane
