Forgive me... I totally missed the entire month
of November as far as this website goes.
As usual, our lives are so "fast lane' that
I have no idea what I've missed and what I need to bring you up to speed on. Hm…
Well, let me start with the most recent and if
anything comes to mind from way back, I'll try to mention it.
I have done almost no lampworking over the past
few months. It's a combination of no free time and a back door that won't open
anymore (my propane is in the back yard).
We realized the leak in the living room just
wasn't going to fix itself (ha!), so we bit the bullet, robbed Peter to pay
Paul and got a new roof.
Alas, the leak is still there.
Here's how the living room ceiling looked at
… and here's how it
looked five minutes after I took that picture…

Oh, but it gets better. This house stands for
almost one hundred years and when WE
The foundation is on its last legs… here are
some photos of the cracks inside the house that are most recent (and come from
the house shifting):
And here are some of the cracks (and a moving
porch!) on the outside:
But there are a lot of really great things in
our lives too. It's not all doom and gloom.
The kids are enjoying another season of hockey
(their favorite thing in the world). Gabe's on a team
that was supposed to be a B team but got into the A league due to an
error/oversight. Basically what it means is they are losing every game. But
they have heart (more heart than the
coach that quit on them)
… and hopefully next
season will be very different.
Gabe just told us last night that he was named
captain for the team. That's very unusual, for a goalie to be a captain.
Monica has more hockey this year than she knows
what to do with and she's loving it.
Monica is also making some exquisite jewelry and
is totally knocking my socks off with her talent. She's only been making
jewelry for a few months too. Eeek!
Well, I've got things to do now so I'm going to
cut this short, but will try to do better with updates.
TTYL!
