Hello, all!
I am working my way through all of the wonderful Christmas postings!
I'm still 5 days behind, but wanted to pop in and give a very merry belated Christmas wishes to all.
We had a very exhausting holiday. We had planned to do Christmas dinner here for our family, but as of the 21st, our dining room was still full of boxes that hadn't been upacked. So there was several days of that, then I refinished the floor and we started moving things in.
We also had several visitors staying with us, so we had to make the extra bedroom useable instead of a storage place for more boxes, and buy linens and things.
We also had much debate about a very large piece of furniture, a sideboard, and how we would be able to pick it up from the refinishers in time for xmas dinner. And how we would be able to move the large china cabinet in place. The base was fine, but the top was very heavy with 4 glass doors and there was no way the two of us could move it.
So, in short, the house was a crazy mess until Christmas eve, when we went to the mountains to visit my father.
