Well, if I can't have a life size house I can have some of my Christmas village houses back. I've been searching for them on Ebay. I have found a few of the ones I had. I had been collecting them and all the accessories for over 30 years. I also located the felt kits to remake John and Sam's Christmas stockings. They were almost 20 years old. I was so happy to find them. I'll be making them while in Buffalo for Christmas. The house plan is still with the structural engineer. No update yet.

Our floor plan is finally done. We are sending it to the engineer this week. Another one of my "Fired Up Sisters" had a frame signing party. It's good to see progress even if it's not ours. The puppy is Rupert, Sam and Justine's dog. He likes to sit in the truck and wait for them to come back when he is staying with us for the day.

We celebrated Sam's half birthday on Election Day. He's 21 1/2.

We're back to the drawing board. Our neighbor John helped us plot the house on the pad. It didn't fit well. We have to make changes to the patio and garage to make it fit right. Better now than later. Then off to the draftsman then engineering. It seems like forever. It has already rained quite a bit and we get the "lake effect" around the trailers. We need more pallets to walk on so we don't sink into the mud.

Halloween 2008

Aren't we a lovely bunch? We lost our wedding portrait in the house fire so we've created another one. First our family photo then our wedding party. We've got the 3 banditos as groomsmen and the 3 madonnas as bridesmaids. Of course the biker and catwoman as best man and maid of honor.
