RVing With a Purpose

Sunday, December 23, 2018

We woke up to another gray, damp day. But it rapidly improved since we met Barry and Donna at Huddle House for breakfast before church. Okay, the weather didn’t really improve that much but getting together with them always brightens us up.

After breakfast we attended a wonderful, uplifting and funny service at Lester Memorial UMC. Pastor Harvey started a thought-provoking Christmas message using pictures of his grandson acting as the angel in the nativity. It was hilarious. If you have a few minutes click here to check it out at the church’s Youtube channel.

The rest of the day was spent working on books and taxes and installing a new kitchen faucet at Aunt Helen’s house.

We finally had sunshine today. And by this afternoon some of the puddles were drying up. Very nice. We got a little walking in today. Hopefully we will get more tomorrow.

We started the day doing some more book work on Mama Ruby’s estate and work around the house. You know – vacuuming, cleaning. Things we all have to do. Then we prepared food for the Hallman Family Christmas Dinner, chicken and dressing casserole. Everyone liked it. Unfortunately the event was not well publicized this year and by the time people were aware, most had already made other planse for the day. We usually have quite the crowd and several tables full of food. Today we only had 15 people, but the food was great and we enjoyed visiting with the family that was able to attend. Okay family, Lester announced today that next year the event will be December 21, at the Community Center, at noon. Go ahead and mark your calendars and plan to come to Pine Mountain.

Maybe some of you were worrying about us because we had a bunch of views yesterday and today and there was nothing new for you to view. Sorry about that.

So, what has been going on? Weather-wise, the past two days reminded us of Lumberton. It has rained and rained. We walked out to check the mail late this afternoon and the ground reminded us of Lumberton. Soggy! BTW, the Lumber River is still in flood stage.

Wednesday, we went back to Oneonta. Max needed a haircut, really needed a haircut! We went by to see the Aunts, went shopping for them and then back to deliver the purchases. We also bought a new sink faucet for Helen’s house and groceries for ourselves. The rest of the day was spent on estate business. Thursday we went to Tuscaloosa, more estate business. It was an all day chore, some of which was not very pleasant. On the way home we stopped at Sam’s and Publix both of which had some really good samples, so we didn’t need supper. Today it was back to Oneonta to take care of some of Max’s Mom’s estate business, visited the Aunts, and picked up the last of the supplies for Christmas. The rest of the day was spent on accounting for Anne’s family, emails and an interview for a NOMADS applicant and more estate stuff. We were very busy, and the past three days have been very tiring/stressful, but not very interesting to read about. So, since we didn’t take any pictures, we did notice at the nursing home that they had filled the bed where they grow tomatoes in the summer with pansies. So pretty. Especially on such a gray, rainy day. A little bright spot that was appreciated.

Today was spent working around the house and handling mail from the last two weeks and taking care of more estate business.

The highlight of Max’s day was cleaning the gutters.

In case you were wondering: number of feet of gutters on the house needing cleaning – 228; number of feet of gutters on FRED needing cleaning – 0.

Anyone want to buy a house?
