Family, History and Love

Wanda and I have been discussing, of late, the need to set down in writing some portion of our family history so that in the future our children and grandchildren will have the stories and tales of our lives direct from the source. The technophile that I am, I choose to do this online so that the what we write will be accessible and available for comment to our wider family (though I reserve the right to moderate those comments).

To that end, I have repurposed this blog. In coming posts, we will endeavor to provide an abridged story of our life (hey, everyone has their secrets). We're writing this for our children and their children and those that come later so elements of these tales will be familiar only to our family,

Holiday Lights

The holiday season is upon us and lights are up everywhere except, it seems, at my house. I usually put lights up outside, and in past years I put up quite a lot. This year, though, I just haven't done so. The weekend I was planning to put them up, there was a major rain and windstorm here, and it was simply too dangerous to get on a ladder to hang lights, not too mention that it would have been terribly uncomfortable.
This past weekend there just seemed to be too much going on to get around to it. And frankly, I don' t think I'll be putting up any lights this weekend either. So this will be the year without outside lights. It's okay, though, as I can enjoy my neighbor's lights just fine. I have promised myself, though, that I'll take my camera and a couple of lenses and get out to photograph some lights this year. As long as it's not raining or too cold. :)
