bushed

 I got Christmas lights on the bushes

    I tested all the lights when I put them away last January.   I tested them all before I put them on today.  I only had 1 dead strand!

    Unfortunately it was a strand of 100.  Luckily I have several strands of 50 on hand because I bought too many last year.

    It was not easy.

    The weather was beautiful.  Sunny, mild, not much wind.  But for some reason, it took me a long time to time to string lights around the bushes.  

    The lights kept falling off.  I thought of getting clothespins, but that would look strange.

    I did not light them.  I just ran out of time to do that today.

    Plus, my back was  barking up a storm by the time I was finished.

    I probably won't get much done the next 2 days.....Jackie has doctor appointments, 1 in Rockford and 1 in DeKalb.  Lots of traveling ahead.

    Gas was down to 4.15 a gallon for regular.  That is down a lot, but not enough.  

    We just finished watching the Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins  Jackie looked at me and said, "I did not understand this at all."  I could not help her, because I did not understand it either.  Are we getting denser in our old age?  

    My project list for Monday is still not done.......there is always tomorrow.  Or the next day.  Or the next.

    Someday I well get a round tuit.  Get it?  

Peace and Love
