Or at least the only one with money for Christmas lights. I would bring them all home and decorate our huge Blue Spruce in the yard next to the house. Mom would say all the neighbors would know when I finally got home from College each year... because the tree was fully decorated overnight.

Due to covid, for about a year I have been looking at half a strand of lights across the top of my patio door. Last night Leah installed my new set of lights and I LOVE them! They really make a difference.<br />A smart bulb, eh? What next!

After he left in Ankeny, we booked the show. Stayed there for years. Bernie had the 'irish disease'. Your memories are similar to ours my wife's family has been in show business since forever.

My folks started with a couple of strings of white lights and by the time they moved away ten years later had their whole front yard covered in white lights just like all the other houses. It sure made for a fairyland, all those lights as far as you could see.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824027366993286152noreply@blogger.com
