The day after

Today is Boxing Day in the UK....for me and many of us it is the day after Christmas and all through the house it is probably a mess. If not a mess it still is lots of holiday decorations and the thoughts of when to take them down and the thought of putting it all away. I have always waited until after New Year's Day and even though I have minimal decorations this year that is still my plan.
I received some lovely gifts this year

Dianna and Bobby gave me a Rain Chain...I love it. Of course with the new gutter system, there is no corner to catch the rain....then again we do not have much rain. It will however hang outside the lanai and possibly find some rain drops to channel. Dianna also found

These lovely "sisters" by a company we both have come to like...Blue Sky. Dianna also has the same set. She and Me. I enjoyed my Christmas Eve time with them and their family. Dianna and I sat outside chatting after we ate and it was a nice relaxing day.
Yesterday was a quiet day and I nursed a headache most of the day. Today will be a regular do the laundry and Bissell the house and take the Swiffer by the hand. I am half way finished with another tatted Snowflake and now, I found a tatted icicle to try. I need to find some beads for that. Oh I have toms of beads but they are probably not the right ones..... I think Jo Ann's is having a string bead sale.

Fresh picked Arizona Sweet Oranges from Al/Keith's tree and lovely lemons form Glenda/Don's tree. Just the fragrance is wonderful but they taste so good. Remember the chestnuts....not one of them is good so they will be going back to Safeway. They seem to be old and not edible at all. I am not returning them for the cost but that they should be made aware of a bad product.
I hope everyone had a terrific holiday and thank you for the caring emails for me. I am so very lucky to have you for my friends.
