Greenville 2007

All good things must come to an end.....at least for this year.


The usual three day ordeal of packing away Greenville only took me one day this year. I got up at 5:00 AM with a purpose, and toiled away. The buildings are all tucked into their original boxes, the people, fencing, trees, cars and various props all grouped and stored away for next year. The miles of lighting cords, extension cords, and various behind the scenes gear are tucked away, all in clear plastic boxes that my husband heaves to the garage ceiling until next November. Is it too soon to start planning for next year's village?

Every year, my husband looks at the completed village for the first time, usually at night with all the lights aglow, and proclaims, "This is the best village you've ever done. Don't change a thing." Of course it is, and of course I plan on changing things next year. But I love hearing that comment every year.
