Does it ever seem to you that there are twice as many things to do this month and half as much time?

This is no excuse for not updating, I know.
  I do find it a good REASON!

The Village is done!  Certain Man worked and worked:

And the days kinda’ ran together last weekend.

But finally, all the cords were run
And the houses were on the tables.

So he enlisted the help of Youngest Son and Beloved Son in law and the
three of them climbed under the tables and this is how they moved it
back into the corner–
(This is the picture that is acceptable for publishing on the web. 
The one that has the three of them shows the process the best, but it
is just a little too — ahem! —  Unflattering, I guess would be the word.)

Sometime after midnight (early Sunday morning, actually) the last figure was put into place and the village was done.
I waited until the next day to take pictures.

This shows the south side — a wilderness area is on the right.

This is the middle of the table.
Usually, Certain Man has his train on this table.
But this year he wanted to do something different.

This is the view that is towards the east (more or less).
The corner is where the two tables meet.
The train track is right there long the front of the left table.

Here the train track goes around the corner.
I wanted to show the train, but I don’t have a good picture of it right now.  You can see it a little bit up there in the third picture, but I will try to get a better one sometime during the season.
(But I’m not promising!)

So there it is  — in sections.
  It looks a whole lot better in one piece. 

Once again, the invitation is

“Come on over and see it!”
Edit:
Almost the whole village:
