No photos today! Christmas gifts are secret ofcourse and so there will be no photos posted until after the holiday. Sewing is slow going as my wrist heals and maybe those Christmas gifts will end up being I.O.U.'s.
We've had an interesting couple of months here. Our dishwasher flooded the kitchen and warped the new hardwood floors and all the water went into the basement and we ended up with a "water mitigation" crew doing cleanup just after Halloween. Those blasted mice ate through the drain hose....After many days of dehumidifiers running noisily and constantly (!) the floor is almost back to normal. Resurfacing is in the future....
At last the new dishwasher arrived and was installed, it is a thing of beauty. That night as we sat enjoying the hum of the dishes being washed we noticed a problem with the woodstove.....
A chimney fire was blazing and the Fire Department was called. My woodstove is temporarily residing on the back porch until the reinstallment can be done. First year I think I ever had so much wood cut and split (thank you Derek and Sam) and I can't even burn it.....
So, I am forced to decorate for the holidays and warm myself by the radiators but we are all well; healthy, happy, lucky to have family and home and love in our lives. I will be back soon.
Merry Christmas!
Michelle
