We are still here...but busy!

I have a few pics from Thanksgiving, but my camera is not in my reach and I'm too tired from all the cleaning that is going on around here to get it. I promise to get you some new pics of sweet Lena Kate tomorrow. I just wanted to let you all know that we had a great Thanksgiving week and finished it with by spending 2 FULL days cleaning and scrubbing our "new" old house we are renting near my parents. It has been in my family for 5 generations. My great Aunt Lena and Uncle CM lived there more recently. I think it will be need for all the Lena's to have lived there...for those of you who don't know, I'm Lena Elaine. We were so busy cleaning I only took one picture of the house..I'll post it tomorrow to. My excuse is that I wanted to keep you interested and coming back for more! The inside has such character. The woodwork is beautiful. It is much smaller than our home now and I'm actually looking forward to it:) Only one bathroom to clean sounds pretty good...right now anyway. It has some interesting tile, I'll just leave it at that. I hope my ideas will tone it down...or play it up however you want to look at it. The view is fabulous. It is on top of a hill and you can see all of the countryside from the front porch swing. What more could you want?! Since it is much smaller, I'm trying to get creative on kitchen storage and where I'm going to put all my clothes. I'll make it work, I'm sure.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have much to be thankful for in our family. I'm excited about the upcoming holidays. I love Christmas hymns...they always remind me of the reason for the season :) God bless you all.
