Familiar Things

 It's been fun to pull out dear familiar objects from the Christmas boxes. Decorating this time of the year is especially pleasurable. 

Old postcards, Christmas cards, flower frogs, ribbon, and ornaments have helped me with my decorating. If I had more spaces I would probably still be decorating.

Hoping to hop on here one more time before Christmas with a few more pictures and thoughts...

 

Where Has the Time Gone?

 Yipes! I didn't realize how I've been neglecting my blog during December. I didn't get my trees up until several days after Thanksgiving and have been playing catchup with decorating. This year it was our oldest son Jo who came to our rescue. He climbed up into the attic to bring the tree containers down. Then he assembled both trees for me. He returned later with his son Lucas to help with stringing the lights and attaching the Hallmark ornaments that move. Corkey has had health issues recently and was unable to assist this time around. If not for others pitching in every year I would not have these lovely trees.

 I do like the trees when they are not lit. You can see all the many ornaments so much better when the lights are off. 

Well, here's to my first December post. More to come...hopefully.
