Ever wonder what

 The old single wire electric looked like?

You can see some of the insulators here.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas.

Here's praying that God will have mercy on us in 2021.

Be safe and God bless you all.

Merry Christmas!

 For you whose address I do not have...

Merry Christmas to you all. Be safe and God bless. 

Brother-in-law sent this to me today.

Was a real surprise. Just over 46 years ago. :)

Hubby, me, my mom and dad. Was nice seeing my dad again. 

You all be safe and God bless. Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year to us all. 

An update for you

 Whose email I don't have or can't find right now.

Some of you know a little about our new home.

I call it a trailer; but the term is manufactured home now.

The big hold up has been financing. And as we came to learn, lack of people who can or were willing to do the job. The finance hold up was on the dealer's side.

After looking at many dealers we decided on Titan Homes. 

Why not a real house? Cost.  More than double a manufactured home. 

There are pros and cons; but we feel that this is where the Lord lead us.

After a few months of nothing happening, we learned the manager of the local Titan dealer had torn his rotator cuff, and had surgery.

Then we learned the dealership had lost the lease to the property because they weren't willing to pay a million and a half dollars for the property.

Then the manager who had taken over our sale contracted covid. Praise God he recovered quickly. 

However the dealership has to have all the trailers off the property by the end of the month or some sort of lein type could be placed on them. 

So our home was sort of delivered today, to protect it from some sort of civil action possibility. 

The ground is so wet right now they had to use a caterpillar type tracked vehicle to get the two sections in. 

More rain is expected this weekend. Don't know when the dirt pad will be able to be done because of how wet it is.

But we are one step closer. :-))

You all be safe and God bless.

Short update

 Remember this? 

The wall of logs, branches and stumps?

The fire department came out Friday and we lit it. They said for green wood - being just cut even though several of the trees were dead - it burned much faster than they expected.

We need to figure a way to get that big stump into the burn pit. When the tree people came Wednesday and Thursday the pit was already full. No good weather to burn. They did the best they could, but this stump is on the edge of the burn pit. It would be too big for our little tractor, even if out tractor hadn't decided to break last week.

Friday night it poured, and we discovered a leak in the little RV. Right over our bed, of course, haha.

So I pulled the bedspread off and threw on a dry bedspread and a mattress protector to keep us dry so we could finish sleeping.  

No flea market because of that. Got the boys out to see if they could fix the skylight.

The burn pile looked like this Saturday.

Yup. Still smoldering. There was still a good fire inside, but I didn't get a picture of it. That's the magic of a burn pit, I guess you call it. It burns a lot hotter and it's hard to put out.

But the fire department said once it's contained below ground, so to speak, it's usually not a problem any more.

And tonight, a thunderstorm and more rain. Will be interesting to see if the burn pit is still burning when we go out tomorrow. 

You all be safe and God bless.  :)

A Blessed December day

 

You all be safe and God bless!

I now have tri-focals

 

I know some of you don't like masks; but we had lunch with our sales person, who just got over covid.

And hubby is high risk. So.

Are you my mommy?  😉

Love you all. Be safe and God bless!
