Slacking

I know I have been slacking on the blog, I will try to keep up as the holiday season is creeping up. We have been busy over the past few weeks with Thanksgiving, and Erin's first semester coming to a close. My sister came down with her friend to see the Garth Brooks concert in a theater in South Bend. I made her take a picture in a fun hat.



For thanksgiving Erin made a pumpkin cake for dessert that was wonderful.



For my sisters birthday I told her I would provide work to turn her carport into a garage. My dad, my sister, and I worked on it the day after thanksgiving and got it completely closed in and siding on one side.







This past weekend we went up to Kalamazoo to visit with Phil and Kim (Erin's friends, I am not very fond of them, but I like Tula) We hung out with them on Friday night, then Erin went to a big craft show with her mom, grama, and sister. Lucky I was able to do other things.






This is a picture of how my cousins house is progressing, it is the same one that I helped on earlier this summer.



On a sad note my parents big oak tree in their front yard was struck by lightning last year, and marked earlier this year by the county to be cut down. They came out on Friday and took the tree down. My dad and I measured the base of the tree, it was 5 feet across. He was going to count the rings to find out exactly how old the tree was. On the bright side, there will be a lot of fire wood.
