Good morning y’all. It’s a cloudy start to our day. 🤨 Rain is forecast at 9 o’clock then clearing and 75F. Perhaps Mark will get our Christmas lights plugged in? Seriously, we have 2 light projectors; pretty simple compared to years ago. (My favorites are icicle lights but they’re too fragile. There was always a dead space in the string halfway through the holidays.) We bought and tossed out many strands over the years! Childhood memories are of the fabric wrapped wires and blue frosted bulbs that dad hung to the peak of our house and along the front eaves. They gave a magical glow. Dad hung a big lit Santa face just over the front door. Wish we’d taken a picture for posterity. 🎅🏼 

While Mark was helping Bob this morning, I took a trunkload of items to the Humane Society store. They were thrilled with it … especially the paintings and the beads. While I was there of course I bought a couple of items. That’s how we help the world go round. 🥰

Today’s fun was painting …

Of course Santa has a cigar! 😂

Mark has been working on removing a light from our main bathroom. It was constantly on with no wall switch. We decided to eliminate it this year and make use of the actual chandelier in the bathroom. Today, he finished the drywall work and it is now ready for paint.

Then, we had one of the fans in the sunroom that would bring condensation into the room and drip. It didn’t happen every day, but it was pretty persistent. The entire fan had to come down, and then Mark had to insulate around the rod that went up into the ceiling panel. Hopefully, that will fix it.

Tonight, I sat on the front porch and enjoyed the wind out of the north. The dogs sat with me, but Mark had had enough of the wind and allergies today. 😢 I listened to Michael Moore discuss inflation.
