I've spend the last few days slowing taking down the Christmas decorations and making festive piles here and there. I'm happy to report that my last pile has made it safely to the attic.

As for the mess pictured below, well that's the stuff I had the put back in place of the Christmas decorations.
Now, you know it just wouldn't be right to put everything back like it was before...boring!!


So, I popped my favorite Elvis cassette tape into my old stereo......
Yes... Elvis ! ... I love Elvis !... His black leather years were the best....
Suspicious Minds, Kentucky Rain and Memories played while I rearranged, tweaked, vacuumed, mopped, dusted, and sang along.

Right now, the pork is cooking, candles are burning, the washer and dryer are going, I'm blogging and I feel content.

Happy New Year!

    I agree it's no fun putting things back the way they were. That's what I'm working on today. Redecorating and cleaning as I go.
