Balmy November day

It's that time of year again. Time for mistletoe and holly. Time for parties and food. Time to do our share to help stimulate the economy via our electric bill. Last weekend Todd and Cameron hung lights. Pher was inside, lying on the couch, not letting me baby him over his day old tonsillectomy.

It was a balmy mid-50 degree day, and we were not counting on having any more of them, so Saturday the 21st of November was the day to get it done. Todd hangs lights when it's nice with the understanding that lights will not be turned on until the day after Thanksgiving. The only exception to this rule is for a light check. Other than this reason, those lights better not be on. I'm good with that. I'd prefer to keep the electric bill as low as possible.

I have helped hang lights in previous years. It requires bending, and to be honest, a lot of bending still makes my mid-section ache. Todd and Cameron did a fine job hanging lights, and Emma did a fine job making my heart stop while she was running on the roof.
