We were up at the crack of dawn<\/em><\/strong>, we put on our clothes, and were eager to take back the house from Christmas.\u00a0 However, one look at the work to be done made us both pass out in sheer fear of this becoming an all-day affair.\u00a0 We should note that we kept the Christmas Spirits (and plan to reduce the quantity year-round!!)<\/p>\n

Well, it did!\u00a0 We finished at 5:05 pm, with a few minutes in between, during which Mary made a bucket of beans and some cornbread for dinner.\u00a0 I took 30 minutes out to watch the rest of “Transformers”!\u00a0 I had to see what the outcome of the battle would be!\u00a0 We won!!\u00a0 Humanity 1, Aliens 0.<\/p>\n

She is indeed an angel!<\/p>\n
