House & Book Update
A Christmas Picture~
Our daughter Marnee, with her big German Shepherd, Hunter, to your left, and our female Athena, to your right. They’re half brother/sister, with the same father, but you’d never know it from their size.
Update on My Book~
My agent has presented the publishing house with some changes to the contract that we’d like to see. With Christmas coming, we’re not expecting to get it signed this week, but hopefully next week for sure. Waiting is hard, as I’d love to be assigned to my editor and jump right into revisions & corrections, and move toward a completed manuscript. But getting this contract offer is one of the best Christmas gifts I could ask for, so I’m not complaining.
The other Huge gift I was given this year, is our new home that we’re building. The drywall company started hanging the sheet rock on Monday morning, and finished up all 4,000′ at about 2:00 today! That included the big two car garage with workshop that has 13′ high ceilings, as the walls set on 2 1/2′ of stem wall. They were amazing to watch and incredibly fast.
Taping & Texture starts next Tuesday, then comes the paint. It’s starting to look like a house!
I’ll post more pictures after Christmas, as we’re hoping to get the rest of the siding on, in the next couple of wks. Maybe I’ll get one with the snow on the trees!
Sorry for not posting as often this week, but if you’re like me, you’re on the go and busy with last minute preparations, too. I’m working on my second book tonight, when I really should be baking & wrapping gifts. I’ll squeeze that in somewhere!
