It’s snowing here in Ohio today. The weather is a perfect backdrop for the task of the day. Mike and Brenda are taking down Thanksgiving decorations and putting up the Christmas ones. Mike said Brenda talked me into thinking it will be fun, but she didn’t have to convince me. It is fun, and I can’t wait to do it.

Once Brenda and I get started, Mike and Allen want to play some World War II games on the computer. Somehow, Mike talked him into thinking that’s fun. But Allen says it is fun, and Mike didn’t have to convince him.

Life feels a bit more normal today. We have constant internet access and my phone should arrive around noon. Hiram arrived in Boone safely this morning. His step-mom Glenna, who is Mike’s mom, will stop in to visit today.

Tomorrow, we’ll drive to Morgantown to settle in. The weather sounds like it will cooperate, but we’d appreciate winter travel prayers. For now, Allen and I will bundle up (it’s only 16 degrees this morning) and take a little walk before the Christmas decorating and war game fun begins.

Today is a wonderful day.
