Christmas is coming, and so are Ruth and Family!

Christmas is coming, and in this part of the world it usually actually waits until about the beginning of December to really make its presence known. In most windows suddenly appear seven little lights arranged in an inverted V. Very pretty!



Ruth, Johnnie and Victor are coming to stay with us again. This time for a longer stay while their house is uninhabitable. The above picture was taken upstairs, and soon a similar process will transform downstairs! I think that a house becomes uninhabitable when the water is turned off, there's no usable kitchen, and the air is full of dust!

Victor's started to lick his fingers to turn over the pages when he's 'reading' the paper. It looked so funny when we visited the other day. I wonder what other mannerisms he'll pick up, this one is straight from Johnnie.
