I suppose I could take my birthday cards down I don't think I need move anything else. As an oldish lady said I don't mind how high I go as long as I have one foot on the ground.

But I know you must have heard that before.🌺

We use compressed air a fair amount of times at the car washes. It's nice.

Good morning. I have those ships in my living room to match my nautical scene. They are a pain to keep clean. Keeping all those knick-knacks dust-free is quite a chore. It'll all be worth it once you get your decorations all in place. Have a good day and enjoy.

As others have commented, ladders are a thing of the past for this old girl. As for holiday decorating, I'm over that, too. Changing my name from Gma Patch to Gma Scrooge for the season. I do like the trick or treaters, kids in costumes for Halloween, and their happy little faces as Santa reports for duty at the shopping center. Love the songs, the choirs and holiday stories on TV, though. Maybe the stress would be less if I'd get off my duff and do my shopping now...

Good Morning

Sam444, I'm sorry your anchor broke after you'd had it so long.  I don't use ladders.  My grandma fell off a ladder and broke her hip.  It was many years ago, but I've never forgotten.  I think decorating the house is so much fun.  This year I'm sure someone will have a special decoration for Jasmine on the tree.  How many trees are you decorating this year?  I have my new tree from last year, and I'm thinking I might get one more.  I want to put one in the dining room and one in the living room.  I hope you have a good day.

I gave up ladders long ago.   Very careful on stairs.   I keep any holiday decorations close to the floor (in reach).   I don't do any outside ones any longer.   I have a great Holiday spirit and I  love decorations bit O don't decorate much anymore.  I don't want a stepladder to be the death of me.    I will sing you a Christmas Carol  if you like.
