I think I mentioned last week that we hung up our Christmas lights, didn't I? In any case we got to work early this year and were able to put them up when it was warm outside instead of snowing like last year! Speaking of last year, remember our dilemma? We used LED lights for the first time and boy, were they bright! Even though we were ... Read More
