Greetings from Tiny House.

Another year come and gone, sort of, and things at Tiny House remain the same for the most part. In this economy and climate the same is pretty good and I have to thank God for that. Things that have changed are the blessing of yet another grandchild, bringing us up to two grandchildren and two grandpuppies. A soul can’t ask for much more than that.

Tiny House is still tiny, but still ours, which is saying something as Obamanomics fails to bring any really relief to the common man. I have the love of a very fine woman who has been more than patient and loving. She needs to be placed on the fast track for sainthood. I also have two wonderful kids that have turned out spectacularly and have brought two wonderful people into the family through marriage. Both my son-in-law and daughter-in-law are tremendous people and a fine addition to our family. I miss having them all here in fact. Fortunately Christmas is coming up and we’ll have a wonderful time together, filling the Tiny House with noise, love, and laughter. Best of all, I get to cook to my heart’s content.

I am personally taking a new path. It is high time to embrace some sort of spirituality and I think I have found a philosophy that is a good fit. I was fortunate enough to receive the Dao and will now embark on an adventure as I learn more about it, while coming to accept the fact a God does exist. I enjoy the company of the others on this path, and am looking forward to growing in this new direction. I am still jobless, but am confident things will work out.

I hope that whatever you celebrate over the next few weeks will fill your houses with love and laughter, and want to wish everyone a great Christmas and a plentiful and wondrous New Year.

Here's a picture specially for Die Murane, he said I post too many cloud pictures, so here's one with no clouds...
