This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

52 years old!

Well, today is my birthday, I am 52. It is hard to believe I am 52. Time passes so quickly. i was able to sit down and relax today and made 7 simple flower and hummingbird cards which are pictured on my Norma's Creations blog. I had a wonderful chocolate cake for my birthday and chocolate chip ice cream!

Missie has been helping me clean for the fall. She has done the kitchen except for the 2 little windows. We plan to start on our bedroom tomorrow. Soon she will be back in school so i am getting it done early while she is here to help me.

It has been hotter again this week. But overall it has been a much milder summer here than it was in SC. It is drier here, too. I am glad, since we don't have central air, but window units. We stay reasonably cool with the window units.

Please remember Junior's Grandma Holland. She was found on her apartment floor. She has been in hospital, but cannot eat or talk, etc. They did a CT scan but can't see where she had a stroke. They think it is just old age. She was moved to rehab today to see if they can teach her to talk, eat, etc. again. We are not sure if she will ever be able to live alone again. She is such a sweet person! I wish Junior could go and see her but we don't see any way. She is in VA. He spent a lot of time with his grandparents when he was little, and has been close to her.

Not much other news today! You all have a good rest of the week.
