<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">The problem is finding the time to blog. Geez. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">We had (several) wonderful Thanksgivings. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I got my Christmas stuff out and began the decorating process.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">During the middle of the thousand plastic tubs scattered throughout the house, the Hubs said he wanted to change the furniture around. We had already changed things around for Thanksgiving dinner. Then we changed more around for the Christmas tree. Then he wanted to change the den around "for winter". Hmmm. He never wants to change furniture around. Actually he usually hates it when I change things around. (But that doesn't ever stop me.) So, if he wanted to do some changing up, I was all for it. Above is what the den looked like before we started. I loved the checkerboard behind the sofa. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Now the sofa in the den is snuggly tucked into the curve of the bay window. It just fits. Admittedly, I like it under the checkerboard better, but I love changes and this is good for "winter"! My pups love sitting on the back of the couch and watching every little movement outside. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">I had a little wooden "book" I got at Tuesday Morning a few years ago. It actually opens up and could hold all kinds of things. It was cute and I couldn't pass it up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">Since the coffee table is front and center in the room, I had to make sure that Miss Pepper Mint and Miss Snow were on the table so they would get all the attention they deserve.
