December 7 Continued
This is continued from yesterday’s post. ”I was sure that the whole ship had been blown out from under me. I wouldn’t let go of that pipe because I couldn’t see the floor. When the smoke cleared, I found myself about three inches from the floor. I just reached my toe down and stood up…

Happy Batday
We had a quick visit from Victoria and her boys. She hauled Christmas decorations and with Megan, started to put out my Christmas decorations. These visits are fast, trying to cram fun and work in together, and I’m very blessed to have her come over and for her kids to have cousin time. Meagan and…
