Nora - I too have not put up a single Christmas decoration - and I hate it! I love decorating for the holidays.
I have had to make quite a few (3 hour) trips to Nashville and back to Vanderbilt Eye Inst - and I am so tired from the trips and bad news always makes the trip longer! Plus side is our daughter lives there and I have had opportunity to visit with her while there. Her spare bedroom is much better than having to get a hotel and I get to visit with my "Grannddogs"! One is so funny - she starts outside in the mornings then remembers I am there, turns around and bursts through my door and ends up with her nose about 1/2 in from my face with a Good Morning. Always fun.
I enjoyed this swap so much - will definitely be prepared in advance in the future - the eye surgery on 9/11 totally changed my fall.
