Happy New Year’s Eve! Hope you have whatever kind of celebration you want for NYE all organized and lined up. I know Ken and I do — bed and sleep in tomorrow 😆

Guess that makes us fuddy-duddies, but oh well….you gotta have some of us around to make all you party-hearty people look more fun.

I took Friday off so I could spend Ken’s last day of freedom in a productive manner I plan on painting the hallway and putting up the chair rail I’ve been talking about. I need him to move the washer and dryer out of the way so I can get the laundry “room” painted at the same time.

He bought carpet yesterday for the bedroom, so we pulled up the old carpet and put down the new yesterday afternoon after I finished working. It looks GREAT! It’s a light grey sculptured carpet and he got it fairly cheaply at Dalton Carpets in Anderson. We also got the bed set up and night stands back in the room and I think he’s going to move the dressers back in today.

With the old carpet he has and what I cleared out of the bedroom and living room last weekend, he has enough trash to warrant a trip to the dump and he said he was going to clean out the refrigerator and freezer today.

Our first dog show of 2009 is this weekend. It’s just up the road in Clemson, SC. Later this month will be the shows in Charleston and we’ll probably go there as well. Keep your fingers crossed for us.

Mom, Judy and my friend Janet all reported to me that the Christmas cards I sent out this year had the envelopes slit open when they received them. Since you are all in various cities, I figured this had to have occurred at the post office we mailed them from, so stopped by yesterday and spoke with the Postmaster. He took all the information about the incident and said he would check into it, but since nothing was missing from them (I had sent the cards that had any gift cards or money in them via UPS), he didn’t act too urgent about the situation. I’m angry and feel violated, so this attitude made me even angrier, but we will see what comes of it.

Well, I think that should catch you up on our plans. Have a great day!

Love to all,

Margaret
