I forgot to turn the heat back up in the living room last night, so when we walked out of the bedroom, it was about 48 degrees out there. Brrrrrrrr.... so we stayed in the bedroom while the place warmed up. We are predicted to have one, maybe two more chilly nights before we get back to our norms.... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Christmas morning. I hope you are well and with your loved ones. We are warm, despite the nasty cold with another night with a low of 18. I'll leave you with this. Respectfully, V&L And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be... Sign in to see full entry.

O, Holy Night!
One of my favorite Christmas hymns. Something to remember. “Years from now, it is unlikely anyone will remember that thing they unwrapped. What they will remember, what will have much greater impact, is a message from YOU to THEM that they will remember, reminding them that they are loved.”... Sign in to see full entry.

We went out for a late breakfast/early lunch. I had steak and fries with gravy and she had fried fish and mashed potatoes. Mmmmm! We had thought about going north for Christmas, but for obvious reasons, we can't and didn't. To make up for it, she is in the bedroom, video-chatting with them now.... Sign in to see full entry.
We made it through the night quite comfortably, despite the low temp last night of 15. We've made it so our bedroom is the warmest place in the house, so we stayed toasty.

It is currently 43 here right now (~10AM) and we have a vicious wind coming out of the north. We are forecasted to hit as low as 15 tonight.

For those of you who will be traveling this weekend, our prayers are with you for your safe passage to and from your journies. We had the opportunity to go north, but between the storms in the Michigan area and a late decision to do something, we will spend our Christmas at home and together. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Pictures, Pictures, Pictures!
Beyond our immediate families, these are the first photos of our new place... one year after we moved in. It's still far from finished, but it is a massive improvement over what we had when we started. It took some time and studying, but we brought this 40' dead tree down exactly where we want it to...
