It's been awhile...

Sorry for the delay in posting...every time I've looked at the blog, I hesitate for some reason. Anyway, here are some of the new happenings in Nordsville...


In addition to the blind, Dayzee chewed and scratched through the screen on my front door (I was just outside in front talking to one of my neighbors and Dayzee felt left out). So, the next step was to get a more sturdy door that she couldn't scratch or chew...in other words...a security screen door. Since Lowes was having a sale, this was the perfect time...so here is my new security door...



I LOVE it!!!! Except that it covers the mail slot in my front door and since I've forgotten to keep the screen unlocked two times...the post office held my mail until I purchased an outside "mail receptacle" SO...here is my new "mail receptacle"...




According to the USPS, it had to be "securely fastened" to something...so I got out Jeff's screw gun and "securely fastened" it to the plant shelf!!! Kind of proud, if I do say so myself!

Here's a photo of the front of our house...just in case no one has seen it before...Jeff and I were a little hesitant to have black trim...but we always said that every time we drove up, we were so pleased at how it looks...






Now, just a prayer request...we are leaving for a week's vacation at Lake Havasu, AZ on Friday. I am excited and apprehensive, we usually went here with two other families 2-3 times a year and this will be the first trip without Jeff. My step sons and daughter-in-law will be along and my Mom, along with good family friends, the Poelstras...so...there will be tons of support for me. Please pray for comfort, strength, and safe travel.

Thank you...may God be with you all!!!
