Today is special. We have two birthdays in our family.  Elisabeth was born in our old age and quickly became a wonderful blessing to us. Emily is 20 today and is serving a mission teaching the people in Lima, Peru, of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

                               HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I thought today I should document our living accommodations, since we are praying for a change to something above ground.

The fourplex we live in is on Carron Circle in South Royalton.
(Phil), upstairs to the left, smokes, mostly outside, but a lot and loves to talk to Roger about being a Vietnam Vet. The woman (Merideth) upstairs, from us has a grandchild on the weekends. The running and jumping that children do, sometimes sounds like she is coming through the ceiling. She is nice to us but does not like the other neighbors. The man that lives across the hall from us owns a Pizza place in Royalton and is gone most of the time.  He is not very noisy but has not won Merideth over.  They all need the gospel in their lives, but are not interested.

We have basically four rooms, seven steps and you can be in any of the rooms. 

The living room.  We have three recliners, each look like they came from a Goodwill store.  They are clean, I know because I have cleaned them. The computer is acting as our TV right now.

The kitchen is barely adequate.  The stove is new but the fridge is making a sound like an airplane flying through the room each time it turns on.  The table and chairs are nice (the nicest furniture we have).  The little machine on the floor to the left is a dehumidifier. I guess they become a coveted commodity in the summer.

The bedroom is mostly bed.  There are about 18 inches that surround the bed.  There is a little ledge that goes along the outside wall that we put some of out things on (watches, phones, etc.)

We do have a second bedroom that is a little smaller than the master.

This is our Christmas Tree for this year.  It is small but we have two absolutely beautiful trees we see and are around most of the time. We will be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day at the Visitors Center.  We look forward to this wonderful way to spend our Christmas.

We are keeping our eyes open for an apartment above ground.  I love the light that can come into my house when I can keep the window covers open.
