The View Out The Front Window December 16, 2018

The view out the front window is the inside of the barn so I will give you a view of something a little different. Thursday before church my sister Theresa came to Odie's house to snap a few quick Christmas pictures for us. 

Then Kelly Jo started getting creative.

Here are the links to the latest posts.

Christmas At The Farmhouse 2018

Hey Friends, 

Happy Saturday, this is Odie checking in. Can you believe this is the third Saturday in December? Christmas is almost here!

Together Again 

I am happy to report that my family has been reunited. I was thrilled on Monday night to hear the Green Machine and the BoggsMobile pull into the ranch. 

It was even better to actually see my parents home again! I am so grateful for the technology that allowed us to stay in contact when we were separated.  It helped me to know that everything was ok with them. Several people contacted me to check on me while my parents were gone and I really appreciate your concern! My family here at home were great too. They made sure that I had exactly what I needed. 

Week of Accomplishments 

Before I get to the main topic of this post I would like to give two girls a shout-out. This week two of my wonderful cousins completed their college classes. I am super excited for them to reach this huge milestone. 

Kayla Jo Morgan now has a degree in Chemistry. She definitely has the brains in the cousins crew in the Morgan family. Now Kayla is onto the job hunt! We are praying that God leads her to the right job. 

Mom and I met up with Kayla and several of our family to celebrate her last day of college. We had a wonderful evening celebrating with her!

This was also the final week of college for our Baby Lauren Osborn. Her major is Retail Marketing. She really has a talent for retail and enjoys the industry. She wants to work behind the scenes. 

Lauren begins training next week for an internship. Soon she will be spending 4 months in Maui for the internship. Please join us in praying that all will go well for her!

Both Kayla and Lauren will graduate from their respective colleges in May. I can not believe they will soon be college graduates. I am super proud of them! I love you girls more than you will ever know!

Christmas at The Farmhouse

Thanks to everyone that let me know that you enjoyed seeing my Christmas decor last Saturday. Click here if you missed the post. 

I also was able to help decorate some at the farmhouse in Hillsboro this year too. I love Gran and Papaw's new home! It was fun to decorate it for Christmas. Gran wanted me to capture some photos of the memories created that night. It was a fun evening spent with family. 

Each year there is a race between Uncle Danny and Aunt Kim to find the trumpet and blow it first. Uncle Danny was the 2018 winner. 

Time for ornaments and Ezra hung the first one.

This is one of my special ornaments at Gran’s house I actually found Grandaughter’s 1st Christmas ornament 1985. That particular ornament is bad old.

Well, I hope you liked a glimpse of the Christmas decor at the Farmhouse. They have added even more since my last visit. I am anxious to see the icicle lights outside. 

Thank you for reading today. It is always a pleasure to have you visit with me.

A Couple of Days At Home

Wednesday and Thursday flew by with us getting in the groove of being home and getting stuff done. The barn, the bus and Odie's house have been keeping me busy and Kelly Jo is trying to unpack, wash, reorganize and generally put life back together in the bus. We are not finished yet, but we are closer.

Kelly Jo and I had some business to take care of in Dayton Thursday morning. We did squeeze in a little trip to Acapulco at lunchtime Thursday. That is what I am talking about!

Of course, we had to swing by and get Odie before going to drink some salsa.

Thursday night was our first service to be at our home church since we arrived in Ohio. I was hoping to hear Bro. Bennie preach, but he called earlier in the day to make sure I would be ready to go.

I did not feel ready, but I gave it my best shot. I do love preaching at our home church. They always act like I preached great whether I do or not. It was wonderful to be home and to be in church with our brothers and sisters. The saints at Dryden Rd. have been with us through thick and thin and we love them much.

Odie was sitting on the platform and forgot to take her phone with her. That means she only took one picture and it was taken after church.

Sis. July Lee and Kelly Jo

Today looks like more of the same for both of us. I have the internet company coming to Odie's house this morning and we hope to have that up and running soon.

Thank you for stopping in today. Christmas will be upon us soon. Are you ready?
