Well, I did it. House is clean, balance of groceries in the 'frig and now I can rest a bit.
I was in the storage room looking for some wrappings when I came across a box with the balance of my ornaments for the tree. I knew there were more than what I found on my first hunt. So I added those and the cotton garlands and now it looks like my tree. During my first visit to Russia, Lida, my 18 year old 'daughter', gave me a puffed, velour heart. It had a gold ribbon on it and I also found that in my upstairs closet. I put it right out front, near the top of the tree. I sure wish she could be here with me. Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated January 7th so she has a few weeks to go. She did tell me however that they put up a tree too. The 'they' being her room mate and herself. At least she has someone to celebrate with.
I am going to try to go to church this evening. There are 3 services and I hope to make the 8:00PM. I'm going to rest a bit now and get cleaned up and dressed.
I wish you all blessings of the season.
God bless you all.
