Brad and I are working on last minute details for Christmas. We brought in two tables from the dining porch and arranged the seating for dinner tomorrow. We discovered that our long tablecloths are riddled with holes --- I think Mama used to call that genteel shabbiness. I've worked on one food item each day this week so that part has not been overwhelming --- getting everything served on time might be, though.
I tried to do an arrangement for the table and it turned out fairly well.
Also decided to try putting some cedar garland on the driveway entry porch. It is not really a garland and it turned out so-so. I'll get better with practice.
At Thanksgiving a high-heel shoe with a nail protruding from the heel added some "distress" marks to our new kitchen floor. So we have purchased some additional runners and hope that solution will protect the floors, since we don't want them to be a source of stress, but rather a source of enjoyment. Our wood burning stove is due to arrive next week.
Eddie is in North Carolina tonight with some of Kelly's extended family. He texted me about how he remembers as a child sleeping in Nina's room on Christmas Eve and how he would wake up multiple times during the night wondering if Santa Claus had come. Those were happy times on Swansfield Road!
