Merry Christmas

Jim and I would like to wish all of our relatives and friends a wonderful Christmas and a blessed, healthy New Year! We are enjoying each others company knowing it is just for a week but realizing next year we will once again be together, we just don't know the exact time it will all come together. We are meeting alot of our neighbors and town people and everyone is making us feel welcomed and are very helpful giving us much needed advice. I am enjoying my job and co-workers and now I am finding places to volunteer/join so I can meet more people. Jim has been very busy cleaning up, de-clutering, cleaning out, and getting the house ready to sell. I have the better end of this endevor but can't wait till the whole transition is over and we can start traveling around here and getting to know the sites.

With Love from Sunny Georgia,
Jim and Laura

P.S.
Jim says" from the peach and the pit".

Christmas and alot of work has been done!

Pretty soon it will be ours. Jim came down for Christmas and was surprised and happy with the progress since he was down here a month ago.
Just letting you see the lay of the land.
Screened in porch then kitchen window and garage.
Back of house, we like the walk out basement.
Standing on the soon to be screened in porch and looking down the hallar (or for those up north) down the hollow.

Its Looking Like a House!

Our kitchen and eating area which exits to the screened in porch.
The bay window in the sun room in which I will do all my reading!
