Hubby was in the hospital for 4 days at Thanksgiving. I was planning on getting started that Friday but he didn't get home till Sat. and has been off work all week. He got an infection in a cut and within 3 hours his finger started turning black and swelling. I didn't notice till the doctor pointed it out that he had three red streaks going up past his elbow. They put him on 3 major antibiotics by IV and two different pills when he came home. All the tests they did were negative so they don't know what it was. He's all better now but it will take awhile for his finger to heal from all the damage. Then I twisted my knee and can't make it up to the attic yet. Will you come decorate for me?Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658368332496429493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-6949245107075006002010-12-02T20:03:21.022-08:002010-12-02T20:03:21.022-08:00Oh dear, you look like the Christmas bomb is about...Oh dear, you look like the Christmas bomb is about to blow at your house too.

Especially those gorgeous, light Hostess ones with the pale cake and LOTS of big meaty pecans---they came in a beautiful golden metal cake-box, and I'm so happy you kindled that memory.<br /><br />I just love the way you deck your halls, Mona, all year---the sweet little vignettes and the items which have meaning from all your life. You just know how to put beautiful things together into a lovely setting, welcoming and warm for your family and friends.<br /><br />And as we begin the countdown to this Blessed Season, I thank you for welcoming me as one of those friends. <br /><br />Best of all the best to you and yours,<br /><br />rachelRachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-38310699318468219002010-12-02T07:16:37.386-08:002010-12-02T07:16:37.386-08:00Your tubs of decorations looks like my pile in our...Your tubs of decorations looks like my pile in our downstairs. I have sorted through it all twice this year, but can't seem to get rid of much. I did put together one tub that I plan to let the grandchildren go through(much to their mother's dismay) and take home whatever they want. I hope it makes a big dent! ha Happy Decorating.
