Well, well, well.
I've got some good news and some frustrating news:
The good news is that we are working with a real estate agent, seller, bank, and title company in closing on some land to move the HM offices onto.
The frustrating news is that we hoped to close this deal on Tuesday, then Wednesday, then we delayed our vacation travel plans to compensate for closing today, and we are told it's a 60% chance to close today (and 100% that we could close tomorrow). We told them they could jump in a lake about that tomorrow plan, as we have already stuck around one day too long as it is, hehe.
I forgot to bring home my devotional Bible from the office, so my blogs might wander a bit from the current text (1 Corinthians 10) as we go on Christmas vacation (and that's if we get an internet connection there).
It's quite a wonderful blessing to be around family at any ole time, and the holidays often make that a possibility and it's a special gift to share times with family.
Does anyone have any Christmas stories to share?

Joe: A Real American Hero figures and the 1987 movie that was put out. Man alive I tell ya, great memories. Last year I had the biggest present ever. It didn't take me long to figure out that it was a small fridge but without touching it I couldn't figure out what the heck it was. 2 years ago I got that "Astronomy" cd by Bleach and that was touching seeing the photo of that marine that was related to the guys from Bleach. Shows him standing against a wall with Sadam's head with a huge "BLEACH" written on his picture. What was touching was reading that he was killed in Iraq as mentioned in the booklet. I am thankful that Christ gives me more chances ever all though I fall short of His glory everyday. The gifts I recieve shall be placed to Him has we thank Jesus for His greatest gift most of all. I thank You Lord for your sacrifice on the cross and for my forgiveness. Playing war with G.I. Joe and Cobra was fun. God bless and be ready to TESTIFY in 2006!!!
