Pat has a special love for Christmas time. Even though I'm not necessarily as enthusiastic about all the holiday trimmings I try to make sure that I do what I can to make her pleased. One of the trimmings she really loves is icicle lights around the house. I'm not fond of heights. Being up on a roof makes me nervous. In South Jersey our roof wasn't very steep so I got used to it. Our roof here in Florida is rather steep and I'm nervous just being on it. But add in putting up lights and I'm even more so. Fortunately only a short portion of the roof requires that I actually get on the roof to hang lights. I'm sure over time I will get used to this roof. But for now I do it for love. I want my DW to have a good time each year during the holidays. So I've re-titled the song "The Things I Do For Pat."

Bob,
Great picture and post.
I am afraid of ladders, yet the things we would do for love. Right. Yet, I don't know if I'd do that, because I'm afraid of hieghts and ladders. I would hire someone to do it because I love her. But me, I don't think so...Great picture of you though. Great dimonstration of love brother.
I hope and pray that you and your family have a great 2008 brother. I have a new post that I would like your thoughts on. I alway love your thoughts on stuff. I would be humbled if you would.
In Him,

Do you love her enough to listen to Celine Dion CD's with her?
Kinney, I have read your post on the small church and I'm contemplating my comment.
Trey, YES. In fact I've even listened to Air Supply with her. So what do you think of that?
The lights looked really great. You are so sweet to do this for her. Lon and Jim did the front of our house for me. Guess she gets it from me.
Have a wonderful weekend. Say Hello to Dottie when you see her.
I really like AIR Supply! and Bread too! I miss my 8track player! :(

The mystry will alway be what will he won't do?
Kinney, he will reveal what he won't do when Carly Simon reveals the name of the man who is "So Vain." Good song for a comment on this post.
Bob, I see you've responded to a higher calling. (When I say things like that, I know I've become an old preacher).
You'd better hope my wife never sees this post. My broken neck will be on your head, . . . or, uh, something like that.
Frank, didn't Paul say something about laying down your life for your wife? :-)

Bob,
I saw that picture of you on the roof putting up lights there in Florida, and I couldn't help but to feel like it needed a little bit of winterizing. Check your email.
Love to all.
Tom Shuff
so do u put them up every year?
Tom, what a hoot! I will post the picture soon to show everyone what you did. I must admit that I don't miss the snow, especially when putting up lights.
Janice, yes I put the lights up every year. Some years they get up sooner than they did this year.
Bobby, we only have to walk in the rain down here. NO SNOW! Did I tell you how much I love the weather here in Florida?

Bobby, yes I know not only the lyrics but also the music quite well. I can hear the song now as I type. I was trying to have some fun with you.
Okay then ... if you love ME, you'll write another post!! :o)
(I didn't realize the discussion had gone on so long! Haven't checked in a while)
Yea, Lisa has written a lot of great posts on her blog. Is Florida keeping you that busy?
Tom
