Catchin' Up

Just a little check-in.  Can't believe it's been a week since my last post!  The tree is down, always a bit of a sad time, but it needed to go.  So, Saturday morning I took the first ornament off, and after that we were committed.  I'd said "good-bye" to it the night before and thanked it for being such a beautiful tree.  (Yes, I always do that.) The take-down went quickly and before we knew it, we were sweeping up the needles and putting the boxes away.

I've slowly started to take down other Christmas decorations as the days go by.  The main hall bath returned to normal today.  Yes, I decorate even the bathrooms.  I don't think a room in our house goes without signs of the season, even the laundry room has its decor.

Later on Saturday, I dropped in at a baby shower at three before heading out to Keat's basketball games starting at four. The shower was for a young couple having their first child and I remembered going to the shower when the father-to-be was born.  Continuity! Oh, and both games (JV and varsity) were won.  Poor Keat was feeling a little down from a cold he's had, but played in both games although he'd come back to the bench with a red nose and looking a bit dazed. 

So what else is new at the resort? I have started a new doll sweater, in purple.  One sleeve is completed.  I hope to start on the second today.  Dan has fallen in love with the pecan pie granola and I need to make him a new batch this afternoon.  In further kitchen news, I have no idea what we're having for supper tonight.  Hopefully, something will come to mind before six o'clock! 

Lastly, last Wednesday was our forty-seventh anniversary!  We spent the evening celebrating Daniel's eighth birthday (way more fun than dinner out), but Dan did find this little item on Tuesday and thought it was just "us."  I think so, too! It's just perfect sitting in the kitchen as a daily reminder. 

And that's the news on Monday, January 14! ♥
