I'm Home

November 21 Alice and I went to Twin Falls and I signed the papers to buy our family home on 273 Hwy 74. It was very exciting. Then on December 20 Matt, Alice, Travis, Rebekah and their families helped me move to Twin Falls. There was lots of snow in Flagstaff but it melted some and made it easier to move. When we arrived in Twin there was snow on the ground also just like there was when I left 5 years ago. Margie and Kris also came to help. It was a family project and we got the U-haul unloaded. Thanks kids for all your help. Kipp and Lance came in on Wednesday and we were all here for Christmas. It was the 1st time we had all been together for a very long time. We all had a great time. Santa even came to see us and the grandkids took turns setting on his lap and telling him what they wanted. I saw a few looks from their parents since their list had changed. Anyway Santa found us and Lance cooked a wonderful Christmas dinner. The best I've ever had. Thank Lance...

Everyone was great at helping clean and unload boxes. The home was different in some rooms and some rooms look just like I left them. So Matt painted my bedroom (sour apple), bathroom (honeydew) and the entree (cinnabar). It looks great and I love the colors. Now everyone has gone home and I have spent 2 nights alone. It sure is different being here and knowing Bob will not be coming in the door. But I feel the protection of him and my Dad so I know this is where I am suppose to be at this time in my life. I get to feed the horses and mule each day and love the dogs. It is good for my soul...I love being home and I love my family.
