January 6 - Update

Good morning,

The house is now tarped. They built a frame where the roof was gone and have strung a tarp over the entire house. It's strangely comforting. Don't know how much good it will do, but it will keep the snow that is coming from settling in the house. We should have temporary electric to the property by early next week. Duke Energy will come out, tell us where to put the pole, the electrician will then put the pole up and a few days later Duke will connect us up. This way we can use an extension cord to put heat or light into the garage when we are over there. The main purpose if for the contractors to have power to their tools. We are looking at having the debris removed from the house soon . My opinion is that we have to wait for it to thaw.

We received the listing the inventory guy created and Bob has started through it. After he gets done, then I will take a look. It is a lot of pages.

Yesterday Paula came and spent the day helping me with office/computer stuff. She also brought lunch. How sweet is that? We got several things done. Having her here working encouraged me to do the same so between the two of us we got some real work done. Things that were not urgent but needed to be done. Things that will help me be more efficient and effective. Thank you Paula!

Leandra and Cole are working on the bulletins and printing the music lyrics for Sunday. Yea! Don't forget that we will be at the Rainbow Center on Sunday. This is an exciting process of exploring where our next location will be.

I'm looking forward to our outing to the Improv show on Friday. I have always loved Improv, even took a class once. Taking a class in anything helps a person to really appreciate just how hard that something is.

Are you ready for the snow? I wasn't sure I was, but now that the house is tarped, I can enjoy the snow for its beauty.

Blessings and much love,

Rev. Carolyn
