Chippin' Away... at 'Christmas'.

Noticed, yesterday... the little old Christmas Cactus, 

that sits in the kitchen window, decided to Bloom.

<3 <3 <3 

Friend, and... my Middle School Home Ec Teacher... Donna, gave it to us,

11, or 12... years ago, when she brought some of her Teacher Friends, to visit, at Christmas.

<3

Spent this afternoon... chippin' away, at 'Christmas'.

Worked on The Tree.

: )

Should have it done... tomorrow.

The House looks like a Christmas Bomb Exploded in the 'new' side.

oh my.

; )

BIG... Messes.

When Brandon and I... were going through totes, on Sunday...

ran across some Lovely...

Vintage Christmas Wrapping Paper.

<3

Mom... NEVER threw away Christmas Wrap.

{ribbon, or... bows}

<3

Mom would carefully gather the paper, ribbons... and bows, save them... for 'Next Year'.

<3

: )

{John's Mom... Vivian, did the same. <3 }

Don't know... where I gathered the 'saved'... Christmas wrap from, but...

Know Exactly 'Why'... I saved it, 'rescued' it.

; )

Miss. Peanut will be Glad when The Tree is done.

<3

She's blind, so... 'change', new... 'obstacles', are difficult for her.

: (

We'll Get 'er Done...

Tomorrow.

: )

Love to Ya...

Prayers for All.
