Thank you

I want to thank everyone who left condolecenses in my previous post. They were very, very much appreciated. I have not yet had the time to reply to them all, but I do plan to.

The house still feels empty, and way too large, now that my mother is gone. I've been going through papers (important for probate, etc.) and some closets - some of which have unopened sheets dating back to the 60s. The Mad Men set decorators would have a stroke looking at all the old stuff in this house! I found a heating pad cover from the 60s/70s, with this 'flower power' green power design. Very retro.

I got up two Christmas trees - tiny ones. Alas, the Dalek remains undecorated this year. Hopefully next year. Here's just a sampling of some of the decorations. I need to find mini-Dalek globes. Alas, the Godzilla ornaments are too big/heavy for the Christmas tree, which is one of those tiny table-top varities.

On the good side, the two Stargate Atlantis (one's a Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 crossover) novels I ordered from Fandemonium arrived! I just may take a break from cleaning/probate stuff and read a book!

Wishing the Best Christmas Season you can have. Good luck with all the cleaning out. I remember doing that after my Mother in Law passed away. She was a Huge pack rat. There were rooms that the door couldn't be opened because she had so much stuff in there and some of it shifted with the weight to block the door. Not an easy thing to look through a life.

Well, there are two closets like that. Darned shame we're ALL packrats in the house. I actually tossed a dozen VHS tapes today (progress!) as I realized, I've got this series on DVD. Need to get rid of all VHS if I can.
