Later This Week

For 20 years that house that I grew up in did not have showers, or so we thought. The showerhead has always been there but we always had to take baths. My dad found out that he had to just do this one little thing to finish it up and we would have had showers. This week my dad has been installing showers for their Christmas present. The reason he has had to install showers even thought we already had them is several things have happened. Needless to say we have showers in the downstairs bathroom, and the upstairs has showers installed, but the upstairs is leaking. If we want to bath we have to do it downstairs.
Thursday I went around the area and looked at Christmas lights. I wasn’t very impressed. Many people didn’t have any up. I went to Linden, Alabama where I went to High school for two years and looked at the light up there. There were only a couple houses I really liked. I drove by one of my teacher’s old houses and the people that live there now had lights that were pretty cool. I brought back memories of a Christmas party we had there. It was a lot of fun. One of my classmates had been in a car wreck not to long before and she had to be rushed to Tuscaloosa because she broke her neck. I remember hearing that she was very close to breaking her spinal cord. Anyway, she came to the party. It was good to see her and see she was ok. Afterwards I went to Thomaston that is about 15 minutes north of Magnolia and looked at their lights. Three houses that were close by each other were covered with lights. It was great. I didn’t get to look at them very close because I was on the main road and had to go. I was neat. I came back home and picked mom up and we went to Arlington which is up the road a little bit and they had a couple. Then, we went to Shiloh to look at this man’s house that is famous for Christmas lights. Every year he puts something new up. He had several things in his yard that anyone can drive up in there and look. It is really neat. It looks like he really enjoys doing it for people because it looks like he really puts a lot of work into it.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful and today we are just hanging around the house.
