The New Year Is Under Way

What a busy first week of January we have had! Ken has been working nights,but somehow managed to complete the first floor roof. Hooray! We were worried with the onset of winter that if he didn't get it done before the bad weather came we might have bigger problems. We ran to the city yesterday and took care of important business. My embroidery machine is messing up. Now it is not! We went out to Olive Garden, thanks to a Christmas gift from one of the kids. Yummy! Ken slept in this morning,he hasn't been feeling good. The rest helped him. We rested today. Ken went back to work about 6:00. Before he left he fixed a great potato soup. I usually have Christmas down the day after, but we went to Mom's in Arizona. I know he is working nights and all, but I can't wait any longer! After he left for work, I started pulling the tubs out of the attic. They are still upstairs,but it is the first step toward getting it put up! I will get them downstairs and start packing Christmas away. School went okay. We will be doing things centered around two books The Hat and Thee Mitten for the next couple of weeks. That will be fun. I meant to go up this weekend, but I decided I would rather spend it at home.
