'Twas the Night After Christmas

What a difference a little primer makes! Keep scrolling!

FOR THE WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 24, 2006

'Twas the night after Christmas,
just returned from the place.
I worked in the attic
got dust on my face.
..
There's now insulation I put in up there
in hopes of this summer keeping in the cold air.
..
The kitchen is closer,
the water heaters are gone!
The time for new cabinets
will now not be long.
..

..
A fresh coat of primer
was placed on some walls.
I can't wait to see
when there's paint on them all.
..
We got a good rain.
The town needed it so.
The house now stays dry
as far as I know.
..
I took out a window
that needed repair.
With pane that was broken,
it didn't keep in air.
..
The sheetrock's not finished -
oh, my, what a mess.
We're still making progress
that's comfort, I guess.
..
The cats send their greetings
- sounds like "Meowy Christmas"
Little Leo's still recovering.
Do you think he misses us?
..
The plumbing's still pending.

Gas meters need moved
Some new pipes are waiting,

Hope water pressure's improved.

..
The mantel is primed

Where's OSHA Babe now?

Sanding in the kitchen

She's really learned how!

..

The feet for the bathtubs

came back plated nickel.

What gorgeous paws and claws!

We really are tickled!

..
Next year we have plans to host a Yule feast
with Patty's famous brisket, or turkey, at least.
You know that you're welcome in our house, the "casa"
If you don't come to join us, we'll wonder "Que pasa?"

..

Make plans to come see us

But don't get in a rush

If you're here before summer

Expect a paint brush!
..
So visit and enjoy this favorite time of year
with family and friends you consider so dear.
It's hard to believe that '07 is close;
Of all your enjoyable years, we do hope it's the most!

..
God bless you next year with contentment and health.
Please see His care for you in more ways than wealth.
Have joy and give thanks for the gift of His Son-
Of all reasons to celebrate, that's the best one!
