What an Exciting Year

Hi Everyone

Here is the last blog for the year and I thought I would reflect on the past year.

I have to say this has been a very exciting year for our group.

I have done more house cleansings this year then I have ever did in one year, 5 of them.

Our team was able to take a road trip to The Axe Murder house in Iowa. This was a very exciting trip for us. We are hoping to return next year.

Listening to the police scanner this morning, I've heard several reports of car accidents or vehicles off the road due to the weather. Accidents on Highway 169 north of Jordan have backed up traffic considerably, according to one of my co-workers.

This morning, while dropping off newspapers around town, I found myself sliding much more than I expected to. Driving into the high school parking lot, the back end of my car swung out three times, and I was not going overly fast.
