August 25, 2023. Western Head, Nova Scotia. Christmas Lights.

 Christmas is just around the corner, according to the Lighting Company in San Antonio, Texas.  They have contacted me twice to order the Christmas lights at the home of David and Suzanne.  And they asked me if I wanted to add more lights.  David thinks the lights are fine while Suzanne said that anything would be fine.  

Ken loved outside Christmas lights.  The more the merrier in his opinion.  Every year after Christmas, Ken bought more outside lights so come next Christmas, when Ken installed the lights we got brighter.  Sometimes we were garish.  But not for Ken.  He loved them so we had a lot.  In 2015 we moved into our Mississippi home but by Christmas Ken was not able to hang any Christmas lights outside which did not please him at all.  In fact, Ken felt sad.  So later in the year I asked the young man who had just redone our outdoor lights front and back, if he would ever install outdoor holiday lights for us.  He just laughed and told me that was his winter company.

Bradley has been installing our exterior lights ever since.  And as part of their Christmas  gift, he also put  the lights at Christina's home too.  Andrew always installed their lights so after Andrew died, Christina did the job.  But she never enjoyed the task.The next year, i started to do the same for David and Suzanne, again as part of their Christmas gift.  David turned the Christmas lights to Suzanne so she was thrilled to have the task taken off her shoulders.

The company uses their own lights.  And they install the lights and remove them in the new year.  And they store the lights, all set for next year.  Both Christina and Suzanne appreciate the gift.  Now we are all set for Christmas 2023.  Merry Christmas.
