Sometimes I Drag My Feet

I have not yet put away my Christmas decorations. I unfortunately did not inherit my Mom's efficiency. At first I told myself that I would wait until after Epiphany to pack everything up. Well, Epiphany came on Tuesday of this week and the decorations are still here. I have no excuse now. It's a rainy day and a perfect day to take everything down and box it up. So why am I dragging my feet?
Excuses, excuses. I can hear those words from my Mom in my head. I suppose that if she has interrupted her heavenly bliss to send me this message I better get with the program :-)

But first ~ I have something to show you and something to tell you. It's all about this darling ceramic basket. It came from Home Goods. You may not believe this, but I had never been to Home Goods until the weekend before Christmas. We did not have a Home Goods in Boise, Idaho. How did I live before??? So the Saturday before Christmas David suggested that we head towards Houston for the day for some fun. Houston is a couple of hours away. Now in the great state of Texas a two hour drive is nothing, and away we happily went for a day of eye candy and good food.
We were in Sugar Land, Texas ~ just west of Houston and conveniently located on the highway we take to get there. We had stopped for lunch and David noticed a Home Goods store. He asked me if I wanted to go there and said to take my time. Well I did and what fun I had. I quickly realized what I had been missing all these years. I found this cute little basket and a sweet little platter too that I will show you on another day.

So that's all for today. I better get busy on the task at hand because I can easily find a million excuses to get out of it.
See you back here tomorrow!
