Mary woke up ready to decorate! hic!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were up and moving at 7:00 am; Mary fixed coffee to get our hearts started, we worked in the office paying bills and taking pills, and then got dressed for the big move!\u00a0 Seventeen trips back and forth from the garage to the staging area (commonly known as the Family Room).<\/p>\n

Before we started, we looked at last year’s photos to decide if we were up to the chore; we are!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Naughty or Nice? I’m aiming for ‘I tried’.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Oh my, we have our work cut out for us!<\/p><\/div>\n

“Transportation” means Paul and his handy-dandy two-wheeled hand truck! Below is the result of eight trips from the garage to the family room, where serious unpacking and placement begin. We began on Tuesday, the 2nd, with unpacking the major boxes but between Mary’s watercolor class and medical appointments, we got only about 20% of the unpacking accomplished.<\/p>\n

\"\"

After unpacking these, come another ten containers of goodies.<\/p><\/div>\n

After working so hard, we are officially accepting Christmas cookie donations.<\/p>\n

We did NOT get back home until after dark and decided to watch a movie instead of unpacking.\u00a0 But first, the artwork had to be inspected!<\/p>\n

Mary’s latest watercolor was NOT COMPLETED in the class, so she has some additional work to do, but this will give you an idea of the final result.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mary plans to make the road\/river distinguishable.\u00a0 I need to get her a #1 brush for her detailed work.<\/p>\n

Using the magic framer, I made some minor adjustments.<\/p>\n

\"\"Mary did pay me a compliment on my decorating efforts!<\/p>\n

\"\"

Hey, I tried!!<\/p><\/div>\n

We rewatched three episodes of “Hart of Dixie” before switching to an Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u00a0 The movie was made 39 years ago, so he was pretty young.<\/p>\n

Summary: When efforts to prosecute mob boss Luigi Patrovita (Sam Wanamaker) are repeatedly derailed thanks to a mole in the FBI, the only choice is to bring in an outsider — specifically, Mark Kaminsky (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a disgraced agent who leaps at a chance for reinstatement. After FBI chief Shannon (Darren McGavin) gives him his orders, Kaminsky fakes his death and reemerges as an ex-con named Brenner. Undercover and accountable to no one, the former Fed tears up the mob from the inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The bad guys lose!<\/p><\/div>\n

We headed to bed around 10:00 pm, just after I took a shower necessary because of my employment in the “Transportation Department”.<\/p>\n
