The Den is Looking Christmasy!!

 Today we had Frontier out to put in our new Internet!
Our Spectrum was so slow - the modem was in the sewing room and the signal was weak by the time it reached the den that it was hard to stay connected in order to watch a program.
Summer stayed here while  I went to work at the Book Fair and I really appreciate her help.
She told them we really needed the modem in the den since that's where we use the Internet most.
They agreed - even though the construction crew had already put cable in the back yard!
Thanks to Summer, plans changed and I am loving the new service!!

I got home at 4:00 and went right to bed for a nap before going out to the den to work.
 

It's still a work in progress and I keep changing things.....


Cleaning the mirrors really does make a difference!


Summer restrung the tree lights on this one.
I haven't decided how to decorate this one yet...all red or hang the Santa ornaments I've collected over the years?


Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime!
Internet works like a charm!


So far I have worked in the den and the kitchen and will be finishing both rooms by the end of the weekend.


Then I'll move on to the foyer and living room and since I already have angels in the foyer - I may focus on that theme and use the nativity collections in there.
Step by step! Room by room!!

We had another fire log tonight and that will be the last one untill it is truly fireplace weather!


Dinner was Caesar salad....


and pasta with pumpkin sauce from Trader Joe's.
I used a pound of ground turkey instead of beef and it was pretty good!

It's not yet midnight so I am going to close and finish watching The Professionals with Louis Dean.


Lee Marvin and Burt Lancaster, Jack Palance and Ralph Bellamy all star in this 1966 western!

That big white tree in the corner with the red Christmas ornaments is looking really pretty and very festive.

I love seeing Christmas red in almost all the photos, even the the salad-- which looked so good! Hope you all enjoyed your movie tonight, and enjoyed having Summer Dee! Love to y'all!

Glad you're internet is working well. It's frustrating when you have a slow connection.
Your den is looking festive. Whichever way you choose to decorate the tree I'm sure it will look amazing.

yay for faster internet! it is always shocking to me, that simply cleaning the mirrors and any glass in a room makes it shine and look so much better. have fun changing things up, and its all beginning to look like Linda's Christmas House... I am still trying to muster up the guts to tackle putting lights on a 17 inch tree and a 20 inch tree. ha ha
