I had purchased 3 wooden trees last Jan. at Sear's clearance at the Outlet Store in Chatham. - .50 each. Each one had a few wooden ornaments on them - tiny enough to use on this new tree. When I get all of my decor over the next two days from where it's been stashed at friend's and relative's homes. My dad had made me some small wooden Christmas trees long ago. (He was a cabinet-maker/woodshop teacher.) Those will finish off the front hall decorations.
DH starts a new round of chemo tomorrow. Our oncologist is hopeful that he can help DH be more comfortable while we are waiting to see the lasting effects of the radiation treatments. Wish us luck! DH's son will be visiting the weekend after next and his daughter at the end of December. I am trying to make our house as "festive" as I can, as early as I can to stretch out the celebratory feeling.
Cabbie, I am so glad that there are supports for you when you need them.
Lynn - I am so happy that you are making good progress - be careful in "stretching" your limits. Christmas is just around the corner. You want to be "flexible" and strong for all your wonderful family celebrations.
Well, "Advent Calendar" openings start tomorrow. Will you be around to see your grandson open his first "bag"?
Natalka - I had a laugh at your cat's expense! - Sorry - I remember when living in Sudbury they came by and shut off our water WHILE I WAS IN THE SHOWER! Suds on head and all. Good thing that we had some water in the kettle!
Have a good Thursday!
