The house is beautiful, just as Jim and Eleanor expected it to be. It may even have exceeded their expectations. Three years ago we had dinner at their home in Jackson. It was in the autumn of the year. We discussed their new home which at that time had no plans, just a dream. They did not even have a road from the highway into their home site. I started asking questions and I kept on asking questions to try to isolate the steps needed for construction. I was pleasant but persistent and we all had fun. Andrew and Christina were there too. At the end of the evening we all six made a bet as to when the home would be complete. Ken, who had the latest date, won the bet. It has been worth the wait.
Tonight we had the most wonderful dinner at the new home, complete with the best china and silver and a new 12 foot long dining table. John and Greta Barbour were there too, also Andrew and Christina and of course, the ten children. The Christmas tree is beautiful, cut on their own land and 14 feet tall. The rooms are large but cosy. They purchased several pieces at auction which look wonderful in the large rooms. The two fireplaces gave off a rosy glow. They even had a parking area ready for the guests.
It was such a pleasure to see the finished product tonight. Along with the magnificent meal of coq au vin dinner and the lovely home decorated for Christmas, I was in heaven. I loved every minute.
