I decided I would purge and reorganize decorations as I put them away, so currently my dining room is the catch all area and it's a disaster zone 😂 We have had miserable weather, it has rained just about everyday and it's so depressing! Not like the winter challenges you face in NY, but I need sunshine!! I am looking forward to a quiet January, and doing some projects I haven't had time for.

I'm sitting in front of my fire on a cold rainy afternoon with nary an ounce of guilt to be had!! Decor is put away for another year and my kitchen has a tiny "closed" sign on it -- did that just to get a rise out of the husband! I'm even kind of looking forward to some cold dreary days....granted, our januarys in the deep south are a bit different from where you are~~<br />Let's relax for a while....we deserve it!!jmachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16455394380447484981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820469895385780659.post-28340236547399077682019-01-02T13:39:26.189-05:002019-01-02T13:39:26.189-05:00Patti, you are on top of things!

I need to tackle that task this week, knowing me probably slowly. I don't mind packing up most, but I like the twinkle of the tree to linger as long as possible. This morning I noticed that a string of lights had gone out. Not good, but likely a sign it's time to retire this tree. Happy New Year!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16287885364919636589noreply@blogger.com
