Happy Endings..
There is good news at the end of the year...I am grateful for prayers for Peck . He rallied for Christmas and so were are taking it one day at a time.
Between the Cottage Tour, my projects,the wonderful vet, the great help and support of the docents and my friends.( the $12,000 we raised) ..and Christmas Christmas......I am grateful and pooped!!!!!!
I came to the office to gather the receipts, the last of the things to be returned , the mail, the bills and the photographs...and the dreaded invoices.
Funny how going to the office is relaxing, I must be weird. Instead of working, I am playing "blog catch up" with my friends in the blog world and watching Lance (the office cat) doze on my computer.
The quite is so welcome and relaxing . ....
The plan for 2013...invoicing and....having more fun!!!
We had a wonderful Christmas oyster roast and dinner .....My son and his wife decorated the boat building shed and we all had a ball!!

After you eat the oysters you can make a wreath, a lamp, a chandelier.... some candlesticks..even a driveway... with the shells(after you bleach them).... the ultimate recycle.

ReplyDeleteHappy new year Jane! I'm tired too as I wind down from Christmas and I am resting in preparation for our big project. I am going to hit some flea markets and IKEA and then hire somebody to move everything to Tybee. Wanna go shopping with me--it could be fun!
