Sorry I didn’t finish the post below and add the photos. Bill and I will be headed to Kentucky in the morning because my Son is no longer suffering. He died tonight.

Well, Bill brought his cold home from work and even though he felt like death warmed over he still cooked Christmas Eve Dinner. We decided we would take it to Jodi’s home this year since she has more room. We normally do Christmas Eve so the kids can go to the other side on Christmas Day. We did Christmas Day breakfast with Billy last year and had planned on doing it this year, but of course Bill didn’t feel like it and now I’m sick.

We had also planned on doing some DIY projects since Bill is off 12 days, till we all got sick and Shadow is so miserable so we haven’t done anything and today is the first I have really felt like posting. I’ll post a few of the Christmas Eve pictures of the kids opening their presents at the bottom of this post. I am so tired of sneezing and coughing and taking medication. I have lots of pictures of some of our DIY home projects which I was planning on posting at a later date.

When we did some remodeling in part of the kitchen and bathroom I took lots of pictures of before and after and we couldn’t decide if we wanted Moen or Kohler sinks since we like them both we used both brands. I love looking at all the cool products and it’s easier to check everything out online. When I go to Lowe’s or Home Depot it takes me hours to get around because of my back and I refuse to use one of those motorized carts because I feel too conspicuous.

There are so many things we still need to do to this old house, like finishing the basement and the attic and putting up different fixtures and fixing the wiring. My list is so long that it’s scary to look at it, but at least we’re luckier than many and don’t owe a mortgage and we’re warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer and when we all feel better I guess we’ll get it done eventually I have to get some rest so again I’ll type at you next year. Happy New Year!
