Meanwhile I discovered yesterday that my favorite twinkle-lit garland doesn't work, I can't get hot water in my washing machine--which Nathan is content to let be since we do pretty much all our laundry in cold water anyway, 'tho I think it'd be nice to at least have the option--and we still have a leak in our roof by the chimney. We had a guy come look at it while Hurricane Ida was blowing through, and he offered two options. We agreed to try the simpler fix first, but I saw yesterday in the torrential downpour that it didn't work, so on to Plan B: reroofing. Right after our new furnace and new hot water tank. Ho Ho Homeownership.
Last night Nathan asked me to scan all his mission pictures over Christmas break for a seminary lesson...
*sigh*
I was hoping to have a few more years to recuperate before starting that one. But, it will be nice to have it done. I finally finished my Blurb photo book of my childhood pictures, and I'm almost done organizing my sister's digital photos as part of her Christmas present. Isn't it amazing how quickly technology overwhelms us, no matter the form?
May your days be Merry and Bright...

Yes, the joys of homeownership. We are having our fair share of repairs recently too. Hope you can have a Merry Christmas!
I'm so sorry about the roof. That is big bummer--we can relate to that very well. That is the *one* thing that is nice about being in an apartment. This year is a bit "different" of Christmas for us too. We are going to see Minda over New Year's but we are home for Christmas and our close friends are all away. It feels a bit lonely. We will think of you and know we love ya!
