Well, today was finally the day. Even though I had the tree in the tree-stand since we purchased it, we still had not gotten the decorating done. Well, today I added the famous "bubble lights" and other lights and then this evening, we all worked on adding the ornaments. So, it looks nice now. I'll probably send a picture out to all the Ceiva owners.
It was fun to watch my kids decorate the tree. We have quite an assortment and the tree was a bit narrower this year than in the past years so we didn't put the whole lot on there. This tree is quite tall and nicely dense in foliage so it holds the heavier ornaments very well. It smells great too.
We also finished the interior decorating (Xmas wise) too. We now have garland on the indoor banisters (with twinkle lights) and the other little doodads that we normally scatter around the house are now in their places. Above the entertainment center is the collection of bears that Mark has purchased for his mom over the years.
Well, tomorrow is another day. Love to all and take care.

About Me
- Jerry
- Born in Memphis, TN many moons ago. Educated at East High School and Christian Brothers University in the mysteries of Electrical Engineering. Married for 36 years this year to the same lovely lady with three beautiful children. Lived in LA, WV, IN, IL and essentially all-over TX (well, at least on business trips). Love my family deeply, feel very blessed by God (more than I deserve) and appreciative of all the friends I have made in this life! My first car was a Chevy II Nova (in upper right of my picture) - one of the first Nova's of this type made. It had a straight 230 cu in six and Torque Drive. Torque Drive meant it had no clutch but you still had to shift it from first to second when starting out (second to third was automatic). Very unique car. I loved it! Now I have a Mustang GT (going on 19 yrs old) given to me by my wonderful wife and it is still a blast. I now have a new daughter - the beautiful lady my son married! So thankful for all my family!

Some things really remind me of our childhood like those bubble lights. Mark has a set of the giant bulbs, possibly left over from Memphis on a tree in his yard. We always had those on our holly bush in Memphis.
