Ken loves outdoor Christmas lights in our homes. "The more the merrier," said Ken. But since he has become somewhat infirm, our home the last two nights has gone without the bright lights of Christmas that he loves. Last Spring, when Bradley the outside lighting man was here, I asked if he would consider putting up Christmas lights for us. He laughed and said that his winter business is installing Christmas lights for people just like us, so he already had a program. Ken and I booked him on the spot. And in addition, we asked him to go by and make a plan for Christina and the girls.
Just before we left for Texas, he came with his book and we discussed our options. He uses all white lights so I asked him to add colored lights for Molly. And we signed a two year contract. He uses his own lights and he installs and takes down and stores everything. The biggest expense is the first year so he insists on a two year commitment from us, which seemed fair. In addition, we wanted the lights installed to be turned on right after Thanksgiving. That was the plan. We were happy and so were Christina and the girls.
This week Bradley came by to install our outdoor lights. He will return with 5 wreaths for the windows. The lights are great. We decided to turn them on immediately and not wait until Thanksgiving. But the best part is that the girls are excited with their lights. He outlined their whole roof as well as blanketing the hedge with colored lights. Molly is thrilled. And so is Ken.
