Yes, today is Sunday and we hope it is a, “Sun day”, as we had rain almost all day yesterday.
My favorite wife is wanting to get the Christmas decorations put in place, both outside and inside. I did replace some of those very small Christmas lights on a white rain deer yesterday. I would remove a light bulb that did not work from one deer, and then take a light from a deer on which half the lights did work. Let me just say, that changing these little lights was a lot more difficult than one might expect. Very small bulbs, and very small wires, are difficult for very ole eyes to see, and very ole fingers to manipulate.
I know that my present wife wants to get some wire ran and connected to the outside decorations today, we may get some of that done even though the grass and ground is wet. A problem in working outside, is the mud that is there due to the cement work. You get it on your shoes and then track it everywhere you go. If you need to go inside; you must remove your shoes. Do you know how hard it is for an ole senior person to remove their shoes? Well, it is difficult!
Speaking of shoes, I had complained about the length of shoe strings for several years. For some reason they put strings in the shoes that are way too long. I took a string out of a shoe and it was 48 inches long. I asked my present wife to get me some strings that were 36 inches long, the next time she was to go to town.
Yesterday I received shoe strings that are 36 inches long and they fit perfectly. NICE!
That is pretty much all I did yesterday. I just thought, I didn’t even watch the 3 stooges yesterday, I watched Christmas Vacation instead of the 3 stooges. Now, as with many people, I have seen this movie on TV many times. Yesterday just seemed like a good day to watch it again. There is a part when he is trapped in the attic and he watches some ole movies of past Christmas’. It did remind me to watch some ole videos from the olden days, which I have on an SD card, and some of them have Christmas times in them. Videos from over 65 years ago, do bring back some ole memories.
My dad had an 8-millimeter camera, he also had a movie projector and a screen. Heck, I just thought, in today’s world my dad would be a techie! We did not know anyone else who had a movie camera. Well, if I have some time today I will watch some of the ole family movies. It is neet to see your mom, dad, and family members and events from years past, and most are no longer alive.
May your Sun Day be nice!
