The Stockings Were Hung...

...by the chimney with care.  I hung the cranberry beads across the mantel, hung a few more ornaments, Dayle carried empty bins back to the attic, pillows put just so. Now all that needs to be done are the ashes cleaned from the fireplace and logs laid and lit.  Then.. THEN.. wrapping some presents to put under the tree.

When I inherited this etagere last year the only place to put it was in the corner where the tree goes.  I worried how it would work out.  But the tree looks fine right by the cabinet. 

I am late to post as I had my procedure today.  But I wanted to thank all of you who wished me luck in the comments on my last post.  You are really wonderful blog friends!  Yesterday was fasting and then drinking half a gallon of icky stuff.. this morning the other half of icky stuff.  Then off to the hospital.. the procedure.. and the good news.. 4 polyps were removed but nothing looked bad.  I am so relieved!  I spent so many wakeful hours worrying.  If you haven't been checked.. you need to do this.  Just so you know, my husband is a colon cancer survivor so.... and I want to thank my dear husband for helping me through this.
