Dave and I had a very nice end-of-the-party-season open house on Saturday afternoon. It was a lot of fun to gather family and friends for one last conversation and time together while our condo was still boasting our red "stuff". Years ago we started asking guests to bring a voluntary donation to our local food pantry instead of a hostess gift....and, as always, our friends were more than generous.
We had fun....and then it was Sunday morning and we began the put-away-the-red-stuff challenge. With music on in the background we moved from room to room trying to find everything before we sealed up the boxes. (Inevitably there will be one something that is still hanging around and we will find it by spring so it stays in a drawer by itself until needed.) This year's gather-up went pretty quickly and we were about done by lunch time.
So the holiday decorations are back in their box and the bags of food items will be delivered to the pantry on Tuesday.
Ooops.....I should say boxes.
