Decorations are up

We finally decided what to do about Christmas decorations and I managed to get everything up in less than two hours. I realize that doesn't sound like a big deal but trust me, that is a major change from when we had little kids.

When our children were young, my wife had me slinging lights across the gutters, the railings, the bushes, the lampposts, etc... You name it, it had a light on it. Back in those days, it took me almost a day to get everything up.

And that doesn't begin to address the electrical overload that occurred on a regular basis. We had so many lights up that if you plugged in the toaster or the vacuum, you popped the breaker.

Life is a lot simpler now that my kids are adults.
