I got the outside Christmas lights up. I don’t know what the deal is, but I cannot make a string of lights last more than one year. I’ll take them out the next year, and they won’t work at all. Or some of them will work, but two thirds of the lights won’t come on. I don’t get it. A co-worker said she had lights from the eighties still. I have to buy new ones every year. Grrrrr!
So here are some brand-new icicle lights hanging around my porch. When I first put them up, there was a three foot section that didn’t light up. I thought I was going to lose it. Then they sort of just came on. The lights are toying with me…

Lloyd and I want to know where you get all this time? It sounds like you’ve almost completely given up lying around. Traitor.
