As promised yesterday, here are the actual photos of the lights taken in our neighborhood. 
We were still celebrating our anniversary and spent most of the day quietly, just the way we like it. Not walking weather as it poured down all day, and there had been flood watches in parts. Dinner was Thai food ordered from our favorite local restaurant. It's not too far away and we ordered it online. Gregg picked it up and it was waiting for him when he got there.
After we had finished doing the dishes I said impulsively, let's go take photos of the neighborhood lights. Gregg said that's a great idea, let's get our coats. When the garage door went up it was pouring heavily! I started back into the house saying I had completely forgotten about the weather. The man said no way, let's go, it will be fun. You know what, it was?
It was quiet as we didn't have to get on any main roads, most everyone was inside. We saw maybe three other vehicles making their way home, and when stopping for each photo, nothing. The speed limit is 25 mph but we were going much slower. I took photos as quickly as I could.
I got very damp but fortunately we had paper towels that had rolled out of a shopping bag earlier, and they helped.
I layered several along the window so that the car would stay fairly dry, but it was a losing battle for both camera lady and car as the rain started getting even heavier. Up-down-up-down, up-and-down, that window had quite a workout. My cell phone too.
A short trip around the neighborhood and a quick stop at each lit house, and on to the next.
but I am very thankful that there are those who love to decorate their homes so beautifully.
To all of them I say, thank you!
Last photo is one of our Christmas Tree in the front room.
Thanks for visiting and
I hope your day is a great one.
Won't be long now!
