Christmas Lights are Up!

Well, Lee and I spent all day getting our Christmas lights up on the house. I can't believe how much work it was. We have a 2-story house and it is pretty frightening getting near the edge, so last year we did not put any lights on the top of the house at all. Last weekend, Lee actually got about 3/4 of them up and then just could not bring himself to go up any more to do the rest. So today he took down what he had already put up.
Lee actually fell off of our old house many years ago. The air conditioner (we have swamp coolers) had leaked water out onto the roof so he went up to check on it, not knowing that it had frozen on the roof. He took one step on the ice and down he went. He fell on his right side, immediately flopped onto his stomach and reached for a hold on the roof but all there was was more ice!! So he flipped over on his back and sat straight up, rocketing for the side yelling "oh no oh no oh no". Thankfully, for some reason, we had parked our '67 mustang on that side of the house, and he landed on the hood - with shock absorbers no less! And he was not even hurt.
Oh well, here are some pictures of our lights last year - have not had a chance to take any yet this year.
