My tree (which is ornament less right now) is still up. My daughter, Jenny will be here this weekend to help me take it down and pack it away. I packed it up all by myself last year and boy was my back sorry I did that! Good for you for donating some of your treasurers to the charity. I love to do things like that. <br /><br />I was very sorry to hear about your blogger friend's passing. I'm sure she was a wonderful woman. Hugs to you and prayers for her family.<br /><br />Have a great week if I don't get back here!Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11955995520615536271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-76286732381310052692021-01-04T11:49:20.842-05:002021-01-04T11:49:20.842-05:00Haha!

I especially like the way they light up the snow fields. <br />Looking forward to your beautiful photos of your feathered friends.

Six bluebirds to watch! How absolutely beautiful, and it would have slowed me down too. As it was, I did most of my undecorating yesterday; it was fairly simple this year when we believed we were off to Sydney. Happy New Year Mary.

Now if I can come up with a safe way to take it all up the stairs to the bed.

I hadn't found her blog, but glad her family put something on there so others would know about her passing.<br />I am much slower this year about putting Christmas away. I think I am doing that on purpose, just to extend it a bit longer. Somethings are tucked away now, but the tree will be next in a day or two. Then lastly the mantle village will go when I am ready and no sooner. In it's place will be candles and twinkle lights for winter. I just need the light for the next month or so. Happy New Year, dear friend!Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-73100849850565426212021-01-03T18:53:37.001-05:002021-01-03T18:53:37.001-05:00Thank you Mary for letting us know this sad news o...Thank you Mary for letting us know this sad news of JoAnn.<br />We started blogging around the same time and joined in on many weekly memes such as Mosaic Monday and others.<br />My blog has been neglected due to work commitments and my husbands health issues, but I’m determined to get back on tract this year!<br />However, I will miss seeing JoAnns blog pop up on my side bar.<br />Take care and I’ll be in touch soon!<br />Shane xxx<br /><br /><br />Roses, Lace and Brocantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11821168025062104166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-62763186245263726472021-01-03T17:54:33.928-05:002021-01-03T17:54:33.928-05:00Dear Mary - our Christmas bits and pieces are all ...Dear Mary - our Christmas bits and pieces are all packed away for yet another year.

I always find that putting things away is faster because I don't have to find place for all the bits and pieces of Christmas decorations. I have started to take things down today but haven't finished. I always have a hard time 'boxing up Christmas'.Loreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520908604580765632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-33209735876450077282021-01-03T14:50:46.308-05:002021-01-03T14:50:46.308-05:00Dearest Mary,
