Clint had the idea of RE-using some previously used pipes that are 20 ft. long or tall, depending on how you look at them. Afterall, it is Christmas time and the mood is merry. So he bought some ribbon and, after breaking some child labor laws and taking advantage of the good hearts of a daughter and a son and their spouses, we now have what you might call a spectacle. A front yard full of candy cane poles. Taya has tried licking them and Boston has tried hiding behind them. Joey gerry-rigged a few things and created a few devices to make the job easier, as he has always been known to do. Karen ran out for pizza and we made an afternoon of it. You can't miss our house. I think we may forever be known, by the neighbors, as the crazy family with the giant poles in their yard. But the kids all love them and it looks like they are here to stay, for the merry Christmas season anyway.

That was a lot of fun. Me and Clint had were a fast team of ribbon winders for awhile before I got pizza. It was fun. Way to go on the idea Clint!
