Happy Tuesday to all!

We were watching a Thanksgiving episode of "Barney Miller" last night, which got me to thinking about Christmas tree decorating, which got me to thinking about a dilemma I'm encountering with my light strings ... I posted this in the Lights & Decoration forum already, but maybe you folks have some ideas ...

For the past few years I have been stringing mini-lights on an unlit tree (after getting rid of a problematic pre-lit tree), and I've been very happy with the results. Last year, however, I noticed that the three twisted wires that constitute a mini-light string were un-twisting and separating from twining them through the tree branches. In some places there are wide gaps between the wires that make the strings hard to manage. Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any tricks to re-twist the wires so the light string is easy to handle again? There must be an answer other than buying new light strings when the wires come un-twisted.

I have come across this almost exclusively on mini-lights I have bought from Rite Aid. It drives me nuts. You can try to re-twist them and use a green twist tie or something like that to keep it together.
 
Hello everyone. I'm at Hobby Lobby and ready to give a special report from the front line: not much out but I did catch a small glimpse of what is to come:







Not quite blossoms. Perhaps they're better described as seeds.

Awesome to see the little seeds taking root!!!
 
Last but not least...the Big Guy himself!

Made, this is for you:

Well, the moment is upon us. What started off 9 months ago concludes tomorrow morning.

Our little girl will come.

A lot of nervous energy...nerves are pretty much shot. I'm sure you all remember the worries...I'm having all of those. We have to be at the hospital in 5 hours and 30 minutes, but I don't think I will be sleeping.

I'm ready, but scared all at the same time. But it is the best kinda scared I can imagine.

I will be back soon. Hopefully, I will get to check in at some point.

If you don't mind, prayers and good vibes are appreciated.
 
Good evening,

I am up later than I want to be, like usual, but it was busy around here cleaning up the house, mowing the lawn, and JP's ball game.

Tomorrow is JP's 4th grade graduation, middle school starts at 5th grade so it is a big deal as he starts a new school next year.

I will be going in to work later so I won't miss it, but I won't get home until after 930pm at the earliest.

I need to get some shuteye, it will be a long day tomorrow.

Goodnight, everyone.


Here is my favorite Jethro Tull Christmas song, my wife loves this one too.

I will keep you and Doc, as well as Bambinas 1 & 2 in my thoughts. Make sure to take it all in, I was a lot more aware of what to expect when my second was born, and was able to help my wife more instead of being very nervous and scared as I was with #1.

Good morning!
Happy Pines Day!
Not too much going on here today, just working on some chores around the house this morning. I think I'm going to do some Fathers Day shopping this afternoon. I also decided I'm going to invite family over for brunch on Sunday so I need to work on a menu plan. I have lots of cleaning to do too. I kind of let the house go this past week, I'm sure that will keep me busy the next few days. That's about it for me. I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good luck with your chores & shopping today!

I need to finish up on my Father's Day shopping, too.
Thanks for the reminder =]
