Rug Time

It has been a week since Thanksgiving and I haven't plastered my blog with THANKSGIVING pictures yet, but I will. 

TODAY, our area rugs were delivered to our HOME, but way earlier than the scheduled time.  I panicked as the delivery man called and told me that they were going to deliver the rugs two hours earlier than our scheduled time.  HUBBY wouldn't be HOME as scheduled and the rugs would only be delivered to the driveway when we had made arrangements for an IN HOME delivery.

HUBBY managed to get HOME just as the delivery truck was parking in front of our sidewalk.  HUBBY managed to print off our agreement from Nebraska Furniture Mart that stated our rugs were to be brought into the house and unrolled in place.

Things worked out for us as the two delivery men agreed to bring the rugs indoors.  They are beautiful and we like them very much.  We'll leave them rolled out without furniture on them so they have time to relax and lay properly.  THESE rugs plus two recliners will be our 2018 CHRISTMAS gifts for our estate.

TODAY, I watched the WALTONS on television as I did four loads of towels at the launder-mat.  Too cold to drive to retirement cottage to do laundry.  After the Holidays and well into SPRING, we will draw up plans for where the washer and dryer will go in our new location.  It'll take months to get all settled into this prairie house where the hook-ups are in the basement.  Giving it great thought about the hook-ups being in the Kitchen so the basement stairs are not a hinderance to aging legs and aching backs.     

The CHRISTMAS tree will be set up this week as I decide what else we can get out.  The Nativity Scene, fireplace garland, front door garland, wreaths for the front doors.  Maybe a couple of miniature Christmas trees on both sides of the front doors.  Don't suppose the outside trees will get decked out as the weather decided to deliver WINTER early in the middle of AUTUMN.  It's as if our AUTUMN was one month long then bam SNOW with freezing temps.

Pics later,
