It has been such a long time since I have blogged, I almost feel lost, without a thought with which to post or initiate a post. This is the week after Christmas, the week when the decorations will be put away and the tree will be dismantled. This will be the second year that we have had an artificial tree, a fact that I am still not quite used to. The lack of a nasty needle mess to clean up, the dilemma of trying to find a place to discard the used tree, the realization that the water from the tree was spilled and leaked onto the floor creating a stained puddle to wash away, the dropping of needles throughout the entire house as the tree is dragged from one room to the next until arriving at the front door exit to the outside, instead, we will simply remove the decorations, dimantle the tree, store the tree and wait for next year. ho hum how boring.
