Warming trend today – our high was 40 degrees. I didn’t go back to look but I think that is the first time above freezing in about 6 weeks. We did have sun and once again a beautiful sunset.
We have finished Christmas decorating and Christmas card mailing. The reindeer are attached to and guarding from the deck. (Bungee cords sure come in handy – almost as good as duct tape.) Our front entrance is gaily decorated in rope lights and it looks great (Kudos to Robert – he had the idea and did all of the work). The 9 foot Christmas tree inside was a challenge. We started with the step stool and quickly established we needed the 8 foot ladder. Then we established Robert needed to do the top of the Christmas tree. Luckily, you can’t see the top very well as it is a little sparse due to the short attention span of the taller decorator. Next year we are getting the 10 foot ladder out. Unfortunately, we didn’t hang any of our antique or crystal ornaments this year as the tree is next to the entrance where the granite will be coming in. All in all, the Christmas decorations look fantastic outside and OK inside.
The counter saga continues. I really miss having a place to put stuff like dinner plates or hand towels. I am tired of setting my toaster in a drawer while it is toasting and balancing the butter on the temporary bar sink edge hoping it doesn’t flip off on to the floor. Plus our entire house is a pathway through stuff. It is really getting claustrophobic. The good news is that they start installation Friday morning and should finish Saturday. I look forward to Sunday - time to clean out all of the dust from the cabinets and drawers and then start judging the dust content on all of the stuff to be put away. Depending on the dust content verdict, we will either start the entire washing cycle again or go directly into the cabinets. (Really – the house isn’t normally that dusty...I swear! Just ask anyone who has visited our past abodes after we hired a housekeeper. Oh…that reminds me – Monday – call a housekeeper.)
Hmmm....I sure hope they schedule the plumber to come by to put the sinks back in!
