Merry Christmas, Y'all

 December has become a rather "unlucky" month for my hubby and me, mostly significant health problems.  This year it is not a health issue (so far) that plagues us.  On Dec. 5th, water came gushing out of the kitchen ceiling and drenched everything, including a very surprised (and wet) Kathy.  It appears a copper water pipe had burst and an entire house repiping was needed.  Thirteen days later, and the last repairman has left the building.  Finally.  Back to normal.  Well, not quite.  All those numerous items that filled our kitchen, pantry, both bathrooms, one bedroom, the utility room and part of the garage are now stuffed in boxes and every space available.  Soooo much stuff.  So, this Christmas we'll still be cleaning and sorting through all that stuff to decide if they are keepers, trash and or giveaways.  A sad Christmas story isn't it.  The fun starts tomorrow.  And I'm guessing this will be the last posting until January 2nd, 2024.  So, while I enjoy pictures of my past Christmas decorations, Merry Christmas good people and do have a Happy New Year!
