Otherwise it is too overwhelming. The mugs are cute! I have the vintage ones that are displayed every year. I'm trying to tackle the Christmas decorating but not succeeding. Lots of time yet! And the entry walls need sanding again whenever the guy gets here, then primed and painted. And the floor installed.

I was a little sleep deprived myself that night...stayed up until the bitter end as well. Rejoicing with you in the outcome...but must admit that we here in Canada who listen to the liberal media of our country did not see that coming at all. <br /><br />Why am I also the last one in blogland to 'get with the program' when it comes to decorating for the season? I'm still enjoying the fall decor. But I am looking forward to getting out the Christmas decorations...soon!Judy https://www.blogger.com/profile/00929685771427155673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-80835648059614482132016-11-13T22:53:06.543-05:002016-11-13T22:53:06.543-05:00Hi Vee

I bought a few new ones on sale after Christmas one year that I use with my grandchildren.<br /><br />It is always easier to do a little at a time when cleaning. The best way to not get overwhelmed.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-77637587292454236442016-11-13T22:51:53.171-05:002016-11-13T22:51:53.171-05:00I am a lot like you- watching late night news and ...I am a lot like you- watching late night news and election returns. I, for one, am just glad it is over-now let's hope our country heals and we can move forward. Maybe we can get a little God back in our country now.<br /><br />I did the same thing when I was working on the house- took bits at a time..and kept at that bit until it was done and then moved on. It is amazing what you can accomplish when you just keep at it, isn't it? I got so much done in late summer that it still feels good.<br /><br />Hope you have a really great week. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-60482326435377969382016-11-13T22:01:23.481-05:002016-11-13T22:01:23.481-05:00....if I haven't told you how proud of you I a.......if I haven't told you how proud of you I am about your renewed interest in blogging, and the prettiness of it..., your beautiful photos, your outlook on life....I'm telling you now, sweet friend.<br /><br />bj https://www.blogger.com/profile/09327534885194207074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-80240188749258058682016-11-13T19:36:43.853-05:002016-11-13T19:36:43.853-05:00Oh don't be ashamed.

I read it all the time and love it.<br />I too have to do housework in smaller bits these days. That day of cleaning it all from one end to the other passed by way too quickly.<br />I jumped down and read your political page. Relieved I was into the wee hours of Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. I couldn't go to sleep until I knew he had 270. The big cities have no clue what the regular people of this world want or think.<br />We have to pray for him even more now, because he will hit the walls of establishment quickly. I hope God will bless his efforts and he can shake it up in Washington. Snoopy happy dance for sure.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185422453541735778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-10899440401139083522016-11-13T07:37:29.988-05:002016-11-13T07:37:29.988-05:00RIGHT ON!!!!

This can not be said of the other major candidate who has basically sold her soul. Too many politicians, as in MOST, are bought and paid for. So he had to not only be independently wealthy, he had to also be a patriot, brilliant, sly like a fox, fearless, and willing to tell the absolute truth. He had to be willing to suffer the slings and arrows.

Tuesday evening we went as a family to the movies, a rare occurrence, and when we came out I looked at my phone to see how things were going. A friend showed the NY Times app that was predicting a Trump win, and I was so amazed. When we got home, Rachel and I watched coverage online and stayed up until the wee morning hours!<br /><br />I'm glad you are finding a way to get your projects done.
