The Busiest Time of the Year
While the song is right this is the 'most wonderful time of the year' we're finding it to be the busiest time of the year currently.
We've not posted a lot recently again, it's been busy. Seems a lot of yearly, bi-yearly doctor and dentist appointments are falling in the last month of the year. We've had dinner with friends, company parties, Christmas shopping, regular grocery shopping, dog grooming and an unexpected sick kitty event happening.
We did make time to go get our Christmas tree and start making the new house look more festive.
As we expected would happen some Christmas items are packed up 'somewhere' and may not make an appearance this year but the very special meaningful one's are here.
We're waiting and hoping that our former house will soon be sold. Things have been a little slow so we've dropped the price a good bit and are hoping something will happen. Part of us wonder if perhaps it's just not a good time of year for someone to purchase a home. We'd love to have some new neighbors.

Christmas Time's a Comin'
We hope everyone is getting into the holiday spirit this year. We're getting there little by little. Donald decorated outside last weekend and Serena has added a few touches inside.
Perhaps a tree will be in place next week at this time.
Meanwhile we're trying to patiently wait and see if our former house will sell. We're still under the construction loan while we wait. While under a construction loan the payment is for interest only which means the loan isn't decreasing any. We're hoping someone will come along soon that will love the house and want to make it their own. It would have been nice to see someone in there for the holidays but we're remaining hopeful it will happen soon.
