Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, friends. I hope your day is/has been a blessed one.
We had a lovely time with friends here in our village, and we will likely make it a tradition if we are in the country for Christmas again (already we are planning to be back in France next year...)
We have a week to move apartments. Provided we can get the keys to the new place and the owners get it cleaned up in a timely manner, it should be fairly easy to do. The only iffy thing is moving stuff over that could easily be taken. There will be a cleaning crew there and possibly tradespeople, whom we don't know, so we would prefer to be better safe than sorry with our belongings.
But the move is happening. SO! For Christmas, I got tulip and hyacinth bulbs to plant in the garden. :D. J got a frangipani (Plumeria) tree, and he has bought loppers and a saw. I can't wait to start working in the garden.
To celebrate the move to a place we (ardently hope) is to be our home for the next 3-4 years, I painted J something we can hang on our walls (we always suspected our current address was not going to be a longterm abode, so I never did anything like decorating to make it feel like ours).
I was going to write more but was so tired I decided to zone out doing art instead.
Again, Merry Christmas wherever you are.
