Thursday Roll Call

Moving along in my world of purging. I emptied ten bins of Christmas decorations last night. I need more cardboard boxes. It is all going to the resale shop after Nov 1 because that is when they put out the Christmas display near the door. So, at this point I just have all of it set on an 8' long table. I know people mean well by giving hostess gifts . . . but after 25 years of having parties you get a lot of things that just are not your taste in decorating. I all along felt that I needed to keep it and put it out for the next year's party. Some of it was my own purchases also - like Nativity Sets. I think I have close to 25 of them in different styles and sizes. I am keeping a ceramic one my sister made for me and a couple smaller one piece wood carved sets.

We are going to McHenry to the Powers-Walker house in the county conservation area after I get off of work. They are having an evening fall themed open house. It is a living history house.

Yeah! A three day week-end coming up for me. Not to lounge around though as I need to pull the spent flowers from the containers and then we are going to the parade on Monday in Chi-town.

What is happening in your world?

All I am doing today is chilling, getting stuff ready to be packed to  take to the Burgoo Festival in Utica on Sunday,some laundry, and get ready for the last play of our summer theater season tonight.

I may venture out to go to the bank, and the store, but that will be all.

I am also trying to purge stuff.  We have been in this house since 1975, so there is alot of stuff we really don't need.

Hugs,
