Just the other day, a young woman who was talking about her light hanging service, said that she strongly believed that people over 50 should NOT be standing on ladders to hang Christmas lights so we're off the hook. Don't tell Tom Reeder, he's always climbing on his roof for fun! When I was growing up, my folks put up some outside lights. I enjoy looking at what other people do but have no desire to have my own outside lights. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-74441497771940298592014-12-08T16:21:10.834-08:002014-12-08T16:21:10.834-08:00Thanks, Alison.
