Getting Christmas Ready

The Poppy Patch is coming together.  I have a few boxes to go through in the spare room and a little work to do in the garage and we can be officially done with the move in here.

The Sweet Retreat is coming along too.  Stoves have just be swapped.  The black stove at this house is the same model as the white one at the old house, but my old one is in much better condition.  Even though it wont match the microwave in color, the dishwasher and refrigerator are both the darker stainless steel so only they match anyway.

The white one removed from the old house and the cord from the black one put on it.  The black one from the new house installed at the old house.
 And the reverse here at the new house.


Why? The black's drawer won't stay on track, the bake button has warn through the touch pad and is now a hole to the actual button underneath, and the glass top is pretty scratched.  The white has a working drawer, no warn buttons, and if it is scratched you can't tell because of the speckled glass top that they don't make anymore. 

 I need to do one more trash collection at Sweet (can only do 2 cans a week) and clean/wipe out the kitchen cabinets and sweep and mop, pull command strips down in all rooms, fill in the sump pump hole and it will be ready to sell.  Yay!  Neighbor has a friend or relative interested but I need to figure on a price.

Christmas is up at the Poppy Patch too.







I didn't do to much for outside lights but we have more than 80% of our neighbors which is a little disappointing.  At least the people across the street and down a house do a nice job with their lights so I have some to look at through the dinning room window.


All the gifts got wrapped last weekend and are under the tree.
Cards and mailed gifts are going out today.


I gifted myself 2 benches.  1 for shoes and dog leashes in the under seat storage by the garage door and 1 in my bathroom by the shower for towels and clothes.


The plan is for Jared and Sahara to spend the night here Christmas Eve and do Christmas together in the morning.  Then I'm sure they will be off to do 2 or 3 more Christmases with his family.

Merry Christmas!
