Merry Christmas!


I finally got the Christmas tree lit and decorated. It has been a rough few weeks: busy working, persistent cough gone nasty, scary read on a mammo that turned out to be nothing, new oven doesn't fit in the hole... Ho Ho Ho!

Got the tree a bit late from Salo's, our favorite local tree farm. It is mighty crooked and misshapen, but I am pretty sure it is the more elusive balsam fir which smells great. Now that most of the decorations and all of the lights are on, it looks like a real tree. (Notice tree tilting forward, cat waiting to remove all ornaments, dogs sleeping and do not care.)

Went to NJ last weekend and accomplished a lot, including delivering Little Sister's well deserved new artificial tree, picking up Husband's well deserved new Martin guitar from an old high school friend, going to Colleen's baby shower and hanging out with all of my forever NJ Hanrahan (and other) friends, visiting with BFWB (best friend work buddy) Maryellen and having the added joy of meeting her 2 adorable grandsons and Junior (DH) the grown puppy, and delivering some fresh eggs and a Christmas card to my new favorite renters Lisa and Holly. Between the baby shower and ME visit I got to drive through Atlantic City all lit up and looking pretty at night. Should have gotten a photo of that!

A whirlwind tour to be sure.

As for the new oven: it is still sitting just inside the front door. With any luck (not my usual appliance luck!!!) it will be installed tomorrow.

Pictures to follow. Good or bad.
