So after what seemed like a drive that took forever to get home from Seattle because of the icy roads in the South Tacoma/North Ft. Lewis area, we made it home right baout 7pm.  First thing I did was opened scheduler, and hit ‘Play’.  Without even stepping into the yard, the music started and 18,000 or so of our lights sprang to life and began to dance glowing their beautiful lights upon a snowy white ground.

The yard itself is a mess.  I have heard, strangly enough from a really nice gentleman we met at a Wal-Mart in Tulsa, OK, that we had 70+ MPH winds in this area this past weekend.  By the looks of my yard, it don’t surprise me.  I have some blowups that are scattered, my skiing polar bear and a lighted snowman are laying on the ground after taking a nose dive.  Our cross fell (as it seems to do anytime there is a slightly more than mild gust of wind) and it appeared in the darness to have taken out one of our Angels, which sit at its base, as well.  The roof still isn’t working, so I will have to try to work on that, but it might be off for the season, sadly, because with the snow and ice up there, I am not gonna ask someone to do something that I wouldn’t do on my own, even if I could. Gonna try to work on the controller from the ground and see what I can get it to do, if I can, and go from there I guess.  1 of our 2 web cams are back online as well.  It’s the one that sits on my office window point outward, but that’s a start.

I have to work today until 4pm, then run some errands, so I will work on the yard when I get home and try to get it cleaned up and back to somewhat normal then.

Today is my brother Judd’s, birthday, so I would like to wish him a HAPPY BIRTHDAY and let him know that I love him very much and I hope he has a great one!~~
