- as noted, we've done our cleaning up....tree is gone....and all xmas stuff
- back in garage....usually would be up a nother week, but it dried out when i
- couldn't water it for a few days....and then when did water it it wouldnt
- take on more water again...and the water smelled like barf....so it is
- all gone....dry tree to the dumpster, water out, house swept and vacuumed,
- garage cleaned, etc.
-
- gail and i are both fighting the bgeinnings of colds, so are taking
- it pretty easy...and she's catching some z's at the moment.
-
- pretty soon i'll have to get going and start cleaning this office at home
- instead of messing with mail....but you KNOW which is more fun....
-
- thanks for calling last nite, anne....was gonna call back, but had a flurry
- of about a half dozen calls (we'd called lots of people in daytime, but none
- were home)....and figured your ringer would be off anyway....so didn't.
-
- but thanks for calling...that was really neat....chris is the other
- wordsler who has called since my eye trouble started....
-
- tonite friends coming over to play bridge....and tomorrow will do for
- office cleaning, won't it?
