      My new pellet stove has a new auger motor.  Jason from RJ Heating has been here so often he says it feels like home.  Yesterday morning he showed up with a new auger motor.  The stove worked perfectly the rest of yesterday and overnight.  A new stove with a defective motor?  It can happen.  I am thankful I bought it from RJ.

     One 5 foot Christmaas tree left.  It was reserved but the family has decided not to put up a tree.   They offered to pay for it but Bekah said no.  If you are having a Blessed Christmas give thanks.  This is the third Sunday in Advent.  We give thanks for Christ our Savior as we light the candle of Joy.

    Church this morning.  Bangor this afternoon with 4 great grand daughters.  The youth group is going to see "The Christmas Carol" at the Penobscot theater.  May God bless you on this day.  Sally
