Mary always has a good point!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh my!\u00a0 The big job began this morning: packing up Christmas decorations and getting them ready for storage.\u00a0 The question is, how do we get 100 pounds of %#$&# into a 50-pound bag??<\/p>\n

We had a load of fun decorating, as evidenced by the decorating website.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

(Early December) Before we started, we looked around one last time, remembering the great Christmas 2025 we enjoyed with family and friends!<\/p><\/div>\n

We really got underway around 11:00 am and worked most of the day, but at 7:00 pm we gave up the ghost and went to the TV Room.\u00a0 We called Colleen, but she was already counting sheep.\u00a0 When we called Robin, she was out with the girls because Bob had a gig this evening.<\/p>\n

I do not remember what we started watching, but I immediately began checking for light leaks.<\/p>\n

Around 11:00 pm, I woke up and saw Mary sawing logs.\u00a0 Sawdust was flying everywhere.\u00a0 \u00a0The neighborhood cats and dogs were in hiding from all the racket!\u00a0 \u00a0On exhale, the wall-mounted TV vibrated!<\/p>\n

The TV had just started the movie “Transformers,” which I enjoyed and watched until midnight.<\/p>\n
