    Jay spent the day doing odds and ends that didn't get done before the thanksgiving snow .  He also found two places the skunk has dug a hole under the front of the house.  One place was skunk proofed about five years ago.  Both places took a lot of digging but he had skunk proofed the back of the house so they are desperate.  I don't know why they are so attracted to this house.  One hole is under the front entry so it smells as soon as you walk in the house.  And that is where all our coats hang.  The other hole is under the laundry room so it smells.

    Annabelle put most of the lights in the village.  She rearranged the memorial corner and put batteries in the candles.

    Bekah's mother is visiting from New Mexico.  Maegin is having a Christmas at her house this morning.  All the kids spent the night there.  Bekah and Jay are headed that way.  There is one seven foot tree left, I will be here if anyone comes.

    May God be with you on this day, Sally
