Winslow's Brownstown ar- ea has Christmas lights that have just exploded in many yards over this past weekend and Eastend is the same with Christmas Cheer, parts of Goosehill and Main Street had put wreaths on the street light poles and they are shin- ing bright. Many places had caught the decorating spir- it and they all look great as I traveled though parts of Pike and Gibson counties. There were new lights out, blown ups had new ones al- so, they're cute. The Gaze- bo has lights around the roof but inside hangs the old street decoration of a lantern. Several business- es have lights and window décor.

But after work Vernon, Dixie, Norm, and I went to Prince- ton to eat Mexican and cele- brate Norm's 60 years with a margarita. And yes, they all sang Happy Birthday as he wore The Hat. I made him a cake and decorated it but it was Saturday morning when we had a piece to eat. We were just full from all the good food. I also got him a box of hot chocolate.
