It would appear that my lack of housework lately, at least in the vacuuming department, has paid off. The rugs have been vacuumed enough, but the poor corners of the ceilings and support beams have been sorely neglected. As I sat at the computer yesterday, I noticed a long strand of web blowing in the breeze. Breeze! Aha! An air leak. Sure enough, when I climbed up on a chair to investigate I found a spot where the house had settled, the chinking had shifted, and there was cold air coming in from the -40C clime outside. I pulled the books off the shelves on the adjacent wall shelf by shelf and discovered a couple of more spots in need of attention. Dwayne sealed them up, along with another one we found near the front door. I know that there are more behind the other bookshelves, but I just haven't got there yet. Those dusty cobwebs have resulted in a much more comfortable sitting place at the computer. No more frozen feet, no blankets required in the evening. Yippee! This is why I love cobwebs today.

I do sometimes link to resources that I and my family personally use and recommend. I participate in Amazon's associates program and if you enter Amazon.ca through my blog and then make a purchase, I will receive a small percentage of the sale. I link to Amazon more for the sake of making it easy for people to find certain book titles, however, if you have a local bookshop that has a good selection please support independent booksellers. I often shop on eBay and online secondhand book shops as we don't have a book shop of any size nearby.

We need to do that here!

Dear family; hope you are all having an amazing time enjoying the grandparent visit in your cold winter. I love your postings; they are very precious and keep us in touch with family we love way up North. May you be feeling better soon dear Jenn as you prepare for the arrival of your precious little one in a few weeks. Love to you all from the Pauls who have just returned from some work in HOnduras. Did see Karen who is now en route back to India and hope to see Jess this weekend. Reuben is back at school today as we just got home this morning. He learned so much about Honduras, central america and Christians working for justice...good that we didn't let his school get in the way of his education. He is looking more and more like Dwayne all the time....isn't that awesome? Love Joanne and family
