December 1st, 2016

Well, here we go again, it's December 1, 2016.  I put up some Christmas stuff yesterday, things that are in the house, most of my decorations are in the attic.  This is my traditional day to put the tree up, but we've been so busy next door that I wasn't sure I'd have time today.  I got John to help me bring the boxed tree down from the attic this morning, then we went on with the day.    We went to St. Johns early this morning so John could work on Mom's fireplace.  One of the knobs was lose and she said the humidifier was leaking.  John brought that home to work on it.  He filled it with water when we got home to see where the leak is.  Then we went back to work on the floor.  Mel and Ruth came by to visit a bit and took us out for lunch to celebrate our 50 anniversary.  They celebrated their 50th recently.  Had a good visit with them.  We came home and put more flooring down.  I am so sore this evening, lots of bending and hammering today! I put the tree up this evening.  Only put on a few ornaments, most of them are in the attic.
