I am very happy to report that while I won't have anywhere near as much as past years, I will have Christmas decorations. I see very little hope of anything in the yard. But a friend came over for a few hours yesterday to help me inside.
I had managed to get all of the fall decorations packed and upstairs; and I brought down the boxes of linens and had those in place. She helped me bring down 7 bigger trees (4 and 5 feet), plus a few smaller ones. Two of them need lights replaced (on half the tree), but that's not bad all things considered! LOL!
Today I have the rare opportunity to get away for a whole day! It was supposed to be for a parade (with my DGD in marching band); but it's pouring rain and the temp is dropping rapidly .. so the chances seem very strong that the parade will be cancelled or postponed. Since care for DH has been arranged, I still get the day with my DIL. :)
Tomorrow I hope (rested and refreshed) to begin "filling in". Oh, nearly forgot, the friend also helped me unpack and *place* a box of Nativities. I still hope to bring down some of the nutcrackers and some of the snowmen. And I may also bring down a few Santas It's going to depend on how DH is doing (how much of my time is spent caring for him ... he has good days and bad days, and no way to plan ahead for that). Except for the trees that were never undecorated, they are "naked" .. and may stay that way. I can't see well enough to really do much about decorating them. And since what I mostly see are the lights, I'm quite happy with them just having lights! LOL!
I will post pictures when I get a chance.
