Thanksgiving!!

Christy and I just wanted to wish everybody an awesome thanksgiving.  We wish we could see all of you, but just know that we're thankful for all your support and friendship!!  I'm going to be home sick during the holidays :)  But we are coming home next month and are super excited!  Maynard and Glenda are out here for Thanksgiving and we are putting them to work.  We are hoping that the weather will be good and we will go exploring in our canoes.  The leaves are all gone but it still has a beauty to it.  I'm sure I will get sick of it after 3-4 months LOL.  We are using our wood fireplace to heat our house a lot and its been fun splitting wood and make kindling.  We are going to have to buy some wood but we will be able to buy a cord of wood for around $130 for seasoned oak so thats not too bad (Just for those that are wondering a cord of wood is 4 ft X 4 ft X 8 ft).  We bought a washer and dryer which is super exciting, we can see clean clothes in our future.  I started our compost heap this last week from the leaves and grass that I mowed on our 3 acres (It feels like more acres when your mowing it all LOL).  We had some excitement at the house last night!!  Maynard was playing with our alarm system to see if he could get the old owners name off the screen and activated the alarm so when they went to leave the house to go to gingers the alarm went off :(  so we tried to flip the breaker to the alarm, tried cutting the power to the control panel and cutting the power from the actual alarm, finally Maynard was able to get ahold of the company and got the alarm to shut off after 30 min. but on the bright side we got to meet one of our neighbors who I haven't met yet.  It was pretty epic LOL and of course I was wearing tie-dye...pity sake I'm always wearing tie-dye at the wrong times :)

Well lots of Love
Shon
