We put up Jackie's Dicken's village tonight
Friend Sheri came over and did most of the work. She was able to get on the floor, see the plug hook ups, and not drop a bunch of stuff.
Jackie suprvised and I did as much as I could. That included testing lights. I plugged in one and it gave a lout pop and the bulb turned black. Thinking the bulb was bad, I tried another one and again got the pop. So the cord is done. So is another cord that also popped a bulb.
I can't figure out how that happens. One year they are fine, the next year they are shorting out. Go figure.
Anytway, all that is left are the trees.
Meanwhile the real house is a mess! Boxes all over, pine needles all over, Corki's hair on every surface......I really have to think about cleaning this week.
Corki gets groomed tomorrow, so that should help.
After working on the village we enjoyed pizza and some very good red wine.
One more day of putting out decorations and we should be done. I am happy Christmas only comes once a year!
Peace and Love
