snow

It is snowing and we have drifts, big drifts, can't get out. Snowblower is working hard, oh, that would be my husband working hard with the snowblower and the boys are shoveling! Well, they were. Now all the kids are sledding. They have tried to sled on some of our earlier snows but this is the first one that is truly good sledding. Maybe the neighbors will come over and play too. The more the better!

Looking forward to a white Christmas, but sunny by then! Happy Christmas and New Year!

Hodgen update

Well, they finished Hodgen on Nov. 1. This was a nine month project. Our estimate of expense for this was well over 1000 in extra gas and wear and tear on the car. We are thankfully back to our normal routes.

Now they are proposing to expand County Line road. This is a road we travel frequently but the alternative will not be nearly so disruptive...... for us. It will be for MANY who we know, including the government commandeering of personal property. No fun.

But, not in this year! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!

Keep on the Sunny Side

The Whites - Keep on the Sunny Side
(Depression Era song)

There's a dark & a troubled side of life
There's a bright, there's a sunny side, too
Tho' we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view

[cho:] Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side,
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us ev'ry day, it will brighten all the way
If we'll keep on the sunny side of life

The storm and its fury broke today,
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear;
Clouds and storms will, in time, pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Let us greet with the song of hope each day
Tho' the moment be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour away
Who keepeth everyone in His care
