Holiday Madness

Every year we go thru it--baking, shopping, sending cards, decorating the house, the tree, moving.   Whoa, what about the moving part??  Yea, in the middle of vacation and my busiest work period in years, we moved into our new house in Brentwood.  We moved in Dec 10--one of my 3 free days available before Christmas in December to move.  Just nuts getting all the work done-- stress level raised way up.  Linda has been awesome-- she has not been traveling and took care of the details and a lot of  the dirty work--plus she did a lot of packing.   2 Men and a Truck did the heavy work.  One note, the lead mover was very good, but his helper was dragging some major league ass late in the day.   We had some big stuff that went up the twisted stairs and he was gassed after that part of the move.  We have all the rooms in basic order and the boxes are basically gone.  So, we are ready for company.  4 kids show up around Christmas and we all get together for a couple of days.  We planted some
