I know it's September 18th and I know I am crazy to some extent but I am getting out and starting to put up Christmas decorations. We leave for our October cruise in a month and then I have a week back before knee replacement. I am slowly getting the stuff out to take it easy on my knee. It will probably take 3 weeks to get everything up. Don't worry I will not turn on any lights till after Halloween. You may ask why don't you get help from Linda and Jonathan. Linda will help decorate but I have a method to my madness in how I pack everything, store and my procedures on how to get stuff down. It would take longer to explain it than just by doing it myself. Needless to say I am very careful and I only do about 20-30 minutes at a time to not put too much stress on the knee. I am not putting up the animated trees outside this year as it would take too long and is a hassle to put up even with two good knees. At least I will have some comfort in laying on the couch a lot after surgery, I can hear Burl Ives now "🎶 It's beginning to look like Christmas....🎶"
