Finally

We did it!!!! finally got some things out of the basement and straightened it up a bit and brought the tree down. Hip Hip Hooray! ;)

I also put all the other Christmas things away and cleaned the house. Then I got a backache and figured it was my shingles getting worse or something ~ forgot what a backache can feel like from working too hard,  lol  I really must get into shape before summer planting time rolls around. The nurse talked to me in the hospital and said it would take 6 weeks to get back into shape but I thought she was talking to a different old lady, certainly not me.  Could it be I am gettin so old? I will fight it.... bam bam bam......

Anyway it was a good day and my house is in order again. I still have the Nativity set up and a big wreath on the window outside that I still turn the lights on.... My neighbors all have their lights on their houses yet and light them every night and morning so I figure just a little wreath until they turn theirs off. Its really pretty and maybe I will put some hearts on for Valentines day .
