The Bare Beginning

26 November - today I cannot decide whether to be thankful for the comfy recliner I am sitting in, the fact that Marvin got the tree set up and the rest of the 6 totes of decorations up from the basement, or for my iPhone... the "camera" that I have not only used all month for my "Thankful" series, but for the past 5 days the tool I have also used for uploading to, browsing through and commenting on my 365 Project. So (since I'll never be able to be thankful for decision-making skills) I will just go with all three!

Bare but still pretty

Wow, you are getting a nice head start. I am still in the thinking stages of decorating.

Beautiful in its simplicity!

[Harry J Benson]

It is a good start :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@grammyn You are too kind! :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@rach_who Thanks... it will definitely get better!

[Marilyn Wigen]

@digitalrn Not that much of a head start... I'm still thinking about when I am actually going to start! :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@hjbenson "Start" being the operative word! :)

[Deb]

That is going to be a beautifully decorated tree :)

[Marilyn Wigen]

@deburahiru With any luck that will be the case, Deb...thanks for the confidence in me... or Marvin?! :)

[Steve Hankins]

Off to a good start... and a nice looking tree.

@hankinsphoto Unfortunately just a start... and the tree is artificial with lights already on it. I love real trees, but our main heat source is a pellet stove in the living room so it just gets too warm and dry for a real tree to last more than a week, so the trade-off for me was real vs. time... time won! :)
