had someone come by and look at the garage roof…

when the house was reshingled a few years ago, they felt the garage would last for another five years… not!

over the winter I was able to see light through a couple of little holes when the sun was shining…

recently I realized that water was leaking in whenever it rained…

so, Monday, Brian, the contractor, came… he removed the old shingles and put them into his truck without leaving any mess… certainly much cleaner than the folks who did the house… there were shingle bits and nails everywhere when they were done…

after he made a trip to the dump, he picked up shingles that match those on the house, then removed every nail still in the roof and used a cool magnet that picked up any loose ones… then he swept the entire roof before placing down plastic sheeting over the entire surface… I was mesmerized with the light patterns when the shingles were off;-)…

Tuesday he returned and laid the shingles… there were a few problems including both roofing nailers jamming and having to remove all of the Virginia creeper that has grown into and over the eavestrough…

and then – it was done… and it looks wonderful…

Indi will be happy when she comes home;-)…

preparing…

another great day off…

worked on my list of prep for next weekend, and then Christmas… wrapped the last few parcels… put ribbon on the finished ones and made sure that each person had an ornament on one of their gifts…

then I sorted out which gifts will stay here and be opened on Sunday when we have our Christmas with everyone, and the ones that will go to my daughter’s house for our actual Christmas morning celebration… 

also preparing to stay healthy by getting the shingles vaccine this morning… on my way there saw these two adorable reindeer…

had to stop and take a picture… very cute…

had a triennial medical appointment and picked up a few final items as I prepare for the holidays… think I got the last gift…

  
picked up these little numbers for me…

brought home all the groceries for the week and our Christmas dinner…

  
still on a roll, cleaned out the fridge and put everything away…

then a rest, lol… 

finally tidied everything up… looks lovely and I am feeling much better about what is left to do over the next few days…

was able to enjoy each piece of my day as I worked on my preparations…
