Monday morning I met the girls for coffee and a bit of window shopping
After that I headed down to see my mother.
She is doing well in the dementia section of the nursing home
She has made friends and her caregivers all said that she’s settled nicely and participates in the activities
After that I headed home stopping at Aldi to do a shop.
By the time I got home I was sore and tired. I had to get wonderson to help me unload the car
Yesterday, except for the bare minimum of house keeping, I rested on the couch and continued to sew
It’s really starting to grow to a decent size
This morning I get back into decorating
At Aldi they had a hogwarts express train set. There were only two left and I happily grabbed one
A few years ago I got a polar express train set. I have had it going round the free standing wood fire. But I really wanted to put it round the Christmas tree
Well having two trees I was never able to
Yes I know. I’m strange
But this morning I found the other train set and each tree has one set around it 
They need batteries and then I can turn them on. I think the girls will like them
I also brought the rest of the tubs from the tool shed out back
I needed to find the Christmas table cloth and seat covers
It’s mid afternoon now and I’ve decided that I’ve achieved enough for the day
Time now to put on queen charlotte a bridgerton story
I’ve been rewatching it all getting ready for the new season early next year
I’ll continue to sew and think about what area I will attack tomorrow
Your place bursts with Christmas already! Looks fab.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who “inspired “ me to decorate. She used the “ you have grandchildren now you have to do it “
DeleteEven when I’m done. Her house will still outshine. She has about twenty Christmas trees!
I call her ms claus
You're certainly ready early. I wonder where the idea of trains with trees started? They're fun.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure. I’ll have to hit the interwebs and see if I can find out. I’ll let you know if I do
DeleteYour house is looking beautiful. You put so much work into it every year, so worth it. The girls will be overjoyed. And the train sets..... An amazing idea. I wish I'd thought of that when the grandkids were young.
ReplyDeleteI saw one years ago and thought what a great idea. Unfortunately we just didn’t have the money to spare in those days.
