Happy New Year

Well it's that time of year again. The time when it gets cool enough to get out in the garage and get rid of some junk. Last year over Christmas break we cleaned the right side of the garage and that was enough work for the year. Friday we attempted to clean the left side which has alot more stuff to sort through. We got a late start so didn't accomplish all that much except filling 5 trash bags. Last year we filled 15. A majority of that stuff hasn't even been looked at since we moved in the house in 1992, so you can just imagine the goodies we find. Such as this lovely mouse skeleton that apparently died as it was eating through the cookbook.

Let this be a reminder to us of the consequences of gluttony.
My cousin found a diary that I had when I was 7 or something and page after page said how I love cats, how I love my friends, how I love my cousin (who found the diary) and love, love, love. I used to be such a loving little person. So we didn't get the whole side cleared out but we did make a hole and maybe, just maybe some day we'll be able to fit a car in there! Wow, I just can't imagine it.

I just love this cat! She grants such joy to our quiet little house hold. This is one of her favorite napping spots, right on top of a plastic bag. Not exactly what I would think of as a comfortable sleeping spot, but whatever floats her boat.
Changing the subject again..I'm going to have another visitor! Melissa is flying in tomorrow and we're going to hang out here for a few days then road trip up to GA then i'll leave her there and drive back home in time for school. God is good! Two visitors within one holiday break. God bless.
