We've Been Under Construction

We've been up to our elbows over the past 3 weeks

in demolishing and remodeling.  We had a plumbing leak in our kitchen that

we did not know about until it ended up in a closet in the bedroom

 on the other side of the wall.  

 Thankfully, we had good homeowner's insurance and then

we also decided this was the time to do a few extras.  

(A sneak peek and will show you more when it is finished)

 Here is Byron, our cabinet maker doing his great detail work.

Right now, while I post this,

 I am squeezed between

 our new dishwasher, yet to be installed into the kitchen,

 and the computer desk,

 along with boxes full of kitchen items,

 just so I can type up this post.

A couple of days ago, the oven range 

was sitting in our family room along with the refrigerator, 

while flooring was being laid

 both in the kitchen and in our bedroom. 

 So now you know why

 I haven't taken the time to post for so long.

I just couldn't get my brain out of chaos gear and into posting mode.

I hope you haven't had anything keeping you from
being all ready for Christmas.
So glad that even in the midst of unexpected chaos, that 
I can center on baby Jesus, laying in that lowly manger inside
of an animal stable.  It kind of puts everything in perspective!
So thankful that HE is my KING.

Now I need to go sweep up some sawdust!
