Of Mice and Men

"The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry".....isn't that the truth?

I am constantly beset by appointments and events it seems!

Christmas decorating and finishing up projects end up on the

back burner often.

Yesterday morning I needed to attend the

DARE graduation for my youngest

This is the third DARE ceremony I've attended

two for my kids and one for my grandson.

Luckily I get a break now since the next grandson is only 2 1/2

Next time, I'll be using my walker

I rushed home and managed to do some decorating in the foyer

Of course, this entailed climbing into the attic for the trees first

Thank goodness the paper wreath was already there

and I just moved the silver tea service in from the dining room

I'll add some greenery a bit later around the tea service...it's a bit early for that

Looks pretty all lit up!

I grabbed a few Christmas pillows from the attic while I was up there 

and threw those around too.

Then it was straightening up the house from the weekend

Yes, I know it was already Tuesday but Monday was consumed

with wreaths, post office, dinner and church activities

Finished cleaning, made chili for the kids and then it was

off to the Sports Banquet for the oldest

a l-o-o-ong event

But, it was nice to come in the house with some decorations 

all lit up....gotta love those timers! 

Couldn't live without them!

Today it's cookie baking day with my daughter

We'll make cutout sugar cookies for all the kids to decorate

Saturday
