The call came early last month, “Dear, do you remember where the Christmas boxes are?” Of course I do, I think. The furniture had to be rearranged, carpet swept and a small electric extension cord and a piece of plastic came out to keep water off the carpet.

Flashlight in hand, the search began, and within an hour ‘we’ located the decorations and the stepladder. Ten boxes of decorations accumulated from both sides of the family. We had purchased the tree earlier in the day, and I cut and trimmed as requested.
