CHARLIE AND JUSTIN
Just want to keep you all appraised of the progress of our baby finch. By the way, he has undergone a name change. Anne of the House has decided he is a Charlie. As you can see, he is growing very well. He has moved into his own cage now. This makes the third cage that is sitting across from me in my study! You can see the "mother cage" behind Charlie and the "juvenile cage" to its right. Charlie's cage is to the right of that one! The view out of my windows isn't what I expected it to be!
You may have read about the desire of Anne of the House for more children. Well, this week her prayers were answered! Caleb came home from Lake State on Wednesday night. He brought a friend with him, Justin, who lives in Oregon. Justin was scheduled to fly out of Grand Rapids this morning and we agreed he could sleep over until Caleb took him to the airport. Oh, did I mention that he was supposed to change planes in....wait for it....it's coming....oh, you already guessed? Denver!
"So Justin, when are you going to be able to get home to your family?"
"They cancelled my flight."
"Until when"
"Christmas Day. 4:00."
Anne of the House was absolutely thrilled! Another kid for Christmas! Another miracle Christmas child! Welcome to the Wooden House, Justin!

We didn't have to face the airport in Denver fortunately, but we did have to face the airport in London. Our connecting flight to Glasgow was cancelled due to fog, so we were escorted onto a bus for a 7 hour drive to our destination. And, this came after almost 12 hours on board the L.A. to London flight making for a very weary experience.
As Harry Chapin once said, "it has to be the going, not the getting there, that's good." He was singing about traveling by Greyhound bus and you can hear it on his "Taxi" album.
Merry Christmas from Glasgow, Scotland!
Ah, laddie! What we in the Wooden House would give to be with ye! Christmas greetings to your lovely lass and best wishes for a wonderful visit in the homeland of my ancestors!
