Christmas is Coming

Well, I finally got a photo of the Sagendorph Mansion in Spencer at night. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now. The only thing missing is the snow.

Thanksgiving at the Nistaments

Wow!!!! Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. Aaron was home and we all went to Sharon and Kurt's for dinner. As always, it was a complete ruckus. I took a small video so everyone can see how wonderfully crazy it was. The turkey and the 99 different types of squash tasted great. Sharon makes a fabulous spread.



Ed and I went out on a photo safari later Thursday night looking for my Christmas card image. I did get it. Everyone will see it shortly. Friday the electrician came and rewired the phone lines. Now my internet connection is blazing fast and I have a new ceiling fan in the our bedroom and two new ceiling lights in the entry way and hallway. Work on the house is moving along smoothly.

Ed and Aaron brought up all our Christmas stuff. Ed also put up the tree on Sunday. It still needs to be decorated. I am getting to that in bits and pieces.

What does it mean "Vacation"

This has been a working vacation. As you can see the patio was replaced. We now have a guest room that is semi-done. I have filled in all the nail holes, the wals need to be washed, then on to choosing the color for the walls. Oh what to choose.

Maddy just came in the room and put her nose up on the desk. She is asking for a cookie. Luckily she is not an inch taller. She is talking to me. She wants another cookie.

Talk to you soon!!!

Yesterday was our 34th wedding anniversary. We went out to dinner with the Ebersolds. It is wonderful to celebrate with friends. It was great. Food and conversation were fabulous. Ed gave me a dozen carnations and a card-- My Favorites.

This morning, we started working in the closet of the office. We got the walls washed, the holes filled and the woodwork taped. Tomorrow, we will get it painted. The closet is going to be a book shelf. Once the shelving is up, I can get them loaded. All while this is being done, I got to fill holes in the new guest room (the old office). Ed took the counter tops down yesterday and the shelving down today.

We are supposed to be on vacation and we are working harder than when we are at work.

That's all for now. See you soon.

Thursday, November 8

Well, today is the 26th anniversary of when Ed and I renewed our wedding vows in church. Tomorrow is our 34th wedding anniversary. We are going out to dinner tomorrow night to celebrate with some friends. Then we are on vacation for a week. I have attached a photo of the girls so everyone can see who I am talking about when I mention the "girls". The one in the car is Mason and she is 5 years old and Madison (Maddie) is on the ground. She is 2 years old.

They bring alot of joy and laughter into our household.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to my blog. In this space, you will read just some of my musing about almost anything. You will see some photographs that I have taken. Some of these photos will be personal. I like to take pictures my two golden retrievers. They really live a very charmed life.

I hope everyone enjoys my ramblings.
