It's been a pretty nice day here so far, despite the blizzard we had last night.
OK, so we didn't have a blizzard -- but it was the first snow that we've had this year (other than the spitting kind). It was not a whole lot of snow. In fact, I just looked out the window to see how much was still on the ground. The answer? None.
Lew decided to take advantage of the nice weather and put some white icicle lights out on the porch. We haven't had outdoor lights for Christmas for several years, so he really wanted to attempt it this season.
He tested all of the strands of lights first, and then he strung them around and about on the porch. Then he turned them on, and....Ta Da!
One strand didn't work.
Lew was almost as upset as Clark Griswold was in "Christmas Vacation."
The bad strand was removed and unceremoniously thrown in the trash. Lew has since been to the store to purchase additional lights. I just checked on his progress.
He's done.
Well, almost.....
(Postscript: We're going to meet our friends Bill and Stacey for dinner tonight. Then we're all coming back to our house for our sometimes annual viewing of the above-mentioned movie, "Christmas Vacation." One of Lew's favorite lines is when Eddie says to Clark: "That there's an RV." Reminds Lew of our own yard, I guess!)
