Work Work Work

I was up at the crack of dawn, ready to continue putting away Christmas.  Mary was already up as her medications had her wide awake.

We called Colleen to see how the snow situation is going, and they expect 4-6 inches of the white stuff this evening—the first real snow of the year.

We worked in the office until 9:30 am, and then I took a little trip to the Thrift Store to drop off several boxes of goodies we no longer needed.  From there, I went to Harbor Sales and got some needed tools.

Did You Know?  Harbor started business in 1931 when all orders were handwritten and confirmed by US Mail.  Yes, that meant no phone orders were accepted.  The team at Harbor has grown over the years using first telegrams, then teletype, telephones, faxes, 800 numbers, and today, e-commerce.

After that, a quick trip to Home Depot was required to pick up some compost and other gardening necessities, including 60w equivalent LED lights.

Decorations seem to grow overnight!

Stack them up and call my son; that is my plan!!

Five of twenty-five completed!

Mary helped me pack delicate items like ceramic houses.  She also disassembled Christmas pyramids.  We worked until it got dark, and then Mary went to watch her movies, and I worked in the office.  We watched movies together, including “Doc Hollywood” and “Teen Werwolf” starring Michael J. Fox.

We walked to Colleen for a while.  I put a new link on the homepage and used a family icon.  When clicked, you go to the collection of gang events I started in 2008.  I restarted it in 2024 now that COVID is pretty much done, and we are back to “normal.”

We crashed, splat.

This icon takes you to our “Friends Site” that began in 2008!
