December 6th - 15th, 2011

My big project this time home has been to get my driveway fixed. The first section of my drive is an easement through my neighbors property and thanks to his having loggers come in and then his "fix-it" projects, in the last 3 years I've gone from having a great drive to one that was barely passable.

After lots of headache, a lawyer, and most of my savings - Mission accomplished!

Heading out this sunday to go back to Mom's for awhile......trying to get packed up and organized!

I've been home for the last month, hard to believe! I've been trying to get caught up and organized (as usual). Weather has been mostly chilly and windy or raining. Haven't spent much time enjoying the deck but I love it anyway!

 Monique, Roy and Brandi came up for Thanksgiving and brought me this cool chiminea for the deck as a Christmas gift. That helps!

We tried to get a little hunting done but the deer and weather wouldn't cooperate. It was fun anway.

Sept 13th - Nov 3rd 2011

Left home on Sept 13th for Florida with a short stop in Louisiana to pick up a few things for Mom and do a little visiting. On the way there Monique called and told me Roy had had a stroke so I spent the couple of days there in the hospital with them. Roy doing well, I headed out to Florida.

Time in Florida was pretty quiet except for a 5 day stay in the hospital when Mom came down with an infection.

Left for home on Nov 1st and arrived here Nov 3rd.
