Last tree #8 is up.
Oops see a hole.
Found an ornament down on the table and
wondered where it came from.
Now I see.
Packages are for darling Daughter's B-day.
That's all for today.
Moving a little slower lately, no heat
in the house until next week.
My heater bravely survived 18 years before
succumbing a few weeks back.
I know you guys with snow have it rough, but concrete
foundations and tile floors
and only stucco walls makes 60 degrees
feel like 45-50 inside.
My trusty red sweatshirt, fuzzy slippers and hot lattes
are getting me through.
How are you all doing?
Anyone done with the decorating yet?
Seems like many of us are a wee bit behind this year.
Maybe it's because we are just not ready
to see this decade pass.
2011 sounds so futuristic to me.
It's only one day from one decade to the
next but it seems so much grander somehow.
uh, oh I'm starting to philosophize, better
fire up another latte.
The tree has tons of charm...I love it! Glad to hear you are surviving without heat...we wouldn't. It is cold and snowing, just heard a plow go by. 'Tis the season. Come over for a warm latte!

I finished my decorating the first weekend of December for a little party I threw. Although I have added a few hand made things here and there. Sending warm thoughts your way...hee hee!!
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with simple touches - mine are so simple you wouldn't notice 'em (I haven't started yet!) Sunday and Monday should conspire to transform the house. And, my very own Darling Daughter is here to help. (Funny you call yours that - my Dad referred me to that way all the time too, in a cheeky way!).
ReplyDeleteI remember being pretty cranky at the 1999/2000 new Year - an amazing time and there was so much fear mongering here in B.C. that no one would have or attend a party of any kind - no restaurants, bars, hotels or anything would put on an event and no one would go out - just daft. I couldn't even convince people to come to my house for brunch on New Year's day.
Best I could do was get up very early, make a hot drink and walk to a favourite spot where I sat by myself and watched the sun rise on a new century. It was one of the most reflective, peaceful and hopeful moments of my life and I think back on it with so much gratefulness that I did it. This year I will do the same and think that it would be a lovely thing to do every year on New Year;s Day. I only wish I had done it with my kids when they were small...
wow...8 trees ?
ReplyDeleteyou really do love christmas :)
