After a slow day that included
a nap, I joined about twenty-five wonderful volunteers setting up the shop for
our annual Holiday Boutique. My
co-worker Bill gave me a ride down.
While the male volunteers hauled a great many boxes down from the
upstairs storage, I dragged out my four boxes of books to the bookcases. Later the ladies stuffed small stuffed
animals into the books creating a small
Holiday zoo.
It would honestly be a lot
of fun if this “event” would be somewhere near Christmas. I flat out love Christmas Trees and
ornaments. Mother used to leave ours up
about five days. I always wanted
more. When we were in the big house, I’d
leave ours up over a month. Now days, I’m
not quite so long winded, but those who notice see I start decorating six to
nine months ahead. Red pillows mean a
red decorated tree…for instance. Silly
me.
George joined us all after
he got off work. We both unloaded boxes
until it was time to Potluck. We even
took part in the gift exchange with my becoming a comedienne when I got an air
plant stuck in a sea shell. G got a
Tar-Jay gift card, and I got a Home Store gift card….vastly better than an air
plant that even I could kill.
Lucky Friday the 13th. The crass Christmas shows up way ahead of the real deal. Have a peaceful day.
