Better late than never....

Yes, you are seeing correctly, a photo of my 2012 Christmas tablesetting. why am I posting this now?   Well it's a bit of a long story. Late in Dec. of 2011 I was told my cancer had returned/traveled and had appeared in my lung.  So I went through chemo and surgery to remove part of my lung. I had quite a few set-backs during this time, but I am happy to say I am getting my strength back. So I thought I would post one of the only happy pictures from that year. My setup for Christmas dinner the next day. (you can see my little box of decorating goodies on the chair from me putting it together).
I was still in recovery, and did not feel like taking too many pics and I certainly needed some more fine tuning for the decor, but I was a bit spent from just doing what I did.   Luckily I got this shot and wanted to share with you now.

Of course before the meal was served the flower centerpiece was removed to another spot. I forgot to take a pic of the gifts that I placed under the glass domes. Anyway, before the meal after they got their gifts, the domes were removed too.   I am still in the remodeling process with the rest of the house.  I will be posting a few to show how far I got until my little "interruption".
