Clara is so cute! I hope I get to meet her some day.
I don’t have your new address. The move must be so exciting….and stressful. Miss you!
Hi Ann,
The move has been very stressful! A crazy few months, but exciting at the same time! So nice being closer to the kids, we are enjoying that. The house is a work in progress with John doing a lot of it himself! We finally got our tree up even though the floors weren’t done. My oven decided to stop working before Thanksgiving and the new one just arrived but not installed yet, so no Christmas baking other than no bakes and pizzelles! We were also rear ended back in October down here before we made the final move, we were lucky we weren’t hurt! However our blue Subaru Outback was totaled which added to the stress of everything else.
Looking forward to 2020 and want to let you know you are always welcome! We have 2 extra bedrooms and the small town of Floyd is such an interesting place.
Merry Christmas Ann,
Rose
P.S. I always think back of the Obenreder Christmas parties you hosted and invited us to, such fun memories!
Thanks for sharing the story of the donkey. I never new that. Can’t wait to ask Bruce if he knew this. He is out hunting.
That is such an interesting story.
I’m glad that everyone is settling in nicely! Thank you for sharing the Jerusalem Cross story- I had never heard it before.
Hi Rose
Love reading your blog. We are hoping to ride our motorcycle down your way this fall. Possibly bringing the camper. Are you familiar with any of the campgrounds in your area? Please let me know, maybe we can look you up!
I have accomplished many outside projects this spring. It’s great having the time and energy to finally be able to do this!!
Looking forward to hearing more from you.
