Update On Our House, and Still Waiting!!!

Update On Our House, and Still Waiting!!!

Here’s the newest picture of our house taken a few days ago. We still have the exterior paint to do, but it’s snowing up there right now, so has to warm up about 20 more degrees and be dry, before paint can begin.

Just a quick note tonight, for those of you who are married and love it, or who still might need a little help.

We have a large, diverse group going with a number of great threads that are active….
