With the holidays around the corner I need to put a lot of stuff away (the dining table has the photo cube for eBay listings, boxes for packing things are in the den, and the sunroom has accumulated things that need recycling or put away.) I've started with the sunroom, plucking dead leaves off of the plants in the stands in the bay window and vacuuming up those that dropped to the window ledge and floor. If I really want to be efficient, I can finish the jigsaw puzzle lower the drop-leaf on that table.

When it comes to skilled craftspeople, I have to call the electrician one of these days since most of those projects I don't do myself. I will change the kitchen faucet, but after the holiday.

Charmion, how's the cough and did you do any more choir stuff this week? Dorothy, did R get home and is he working on projects for you to sort out the pottery and various houses and where stuff is stored?

Is everyone in the US doing some version of Thanksgiving this year? Do you have to jump through a lot of hoops to accomplish it? Do share!
