Kelly and I had a productive week! Everything is done – the house is decorated, inside and out. The boxes are restacked on the shelves so the car is tucked back in the garage. We finished all the decorating yesterday – had a good rest and this morning both of us had a little business (work) to handle. After lunch we made her famous Chocolate Chip Cookies – and they are tucked in the freezer. Yesterday we shoveled the driveway, and I grabbed my shoes and didn’t realize I had on two different shoes!
One of each shoe….
She also helped me put things up – and a LOT of it (most in fact) are in new places and not where I traditionally would display them. I feel like this is a new start and it’s so refreshing!

She left at 3pm and it was hard to see her go. She was such a BIG help – We went through everything in every box, item at a time, and I sorted out 3 large black trash bags and about 3 smaller white ones and a few boxes of things I didn’t want. Some went to some projects at her church, some Kelly took for herself. Some will go to Goodwill and I saved some for Autmn. We spent a lot of time laughing. You can’t image how much I had and how long I’ve had most of it.
Decorations!!
As a ‘reward’ for her, last night for supper we went to McDonald’s. Her one request was that she wanted to get a GRINCH meal. They have dill pickle salt for the fries, and there is a pair of Grinch socks in each meal (They are NOT kids meals!). She said the fries were wonderful! So that was a satisfactory ending to a long 2 1/2 days!

I went to work after she left – and as I was typing I looked over at my mouse and there was another Wooly Worm on it, just cozied up. I scooped it up and put it on KEN’s desk! He’s — well, yes. He is.
About this big….
