20 days and counting

Has it really been almost 3 weeks since I entered anything?  Time flies, having fun or not.  I did spend a bit of money today.  Rather than post the same thing twice, see the farm page at www.bumpusfarms.us

So what else had been going on?  I went to an auction Saturday in West Union.  It was Alice Utterback's estate.  It was like any other auction, some stuff went too cheap, some went too high. And don't bid unless you are willing to take it home.
Just to remind me of that fact, I have a $20 pool table in the crib.

I hope to get through the week with no funeral home visits.  It's been a trying month for the community.  I was waiting on the salesman to get back today I was dealing with on the tractor.  He had been to a funeral for a 20 year old young lady.  When her folks left for work one morning she was still in bed.  When they got home they found she was still there.  No apparent reason, she just didn't wake up. That would be rough.

The new preacher has been at church for 3 weeks.  I have even heard one of his sermons!  Between leading Junior church in December and special programs and special family dinners on Sunday evening I think I've only heard one of his sermons.

Speaking of church, I think we have had a major failure.  The closer for the back door is messed up and may need replaced.  That is significant because the opener had a characteristic squeak every time it opened. Coop commented one time to never let it be fixed because it alerted you to someone coming in the building during the week.  Right now they'll know from the WHAM it makes closing.

Anyway, Merry Christmas.  Be careful out there.
