Southern Accents Magazine Lights Up Our Life, Yard

Behold — the “holiday” (Christmas) issue of Southern Accents magazine.

Ooh, what a sparkly tree.  I wonder who designed it?

None other than Barbara Howard, Mrs. Shakespeare’s* Monday night bridge partner.

Man, if only I knew where all those pretty lights went after their late-August photo shoot.

Wait, is that the Wren’s Nest?  All gussied up for its fall concert?  It is!

Wow, who knew our lights were such glamorous cover models.  And who do we have to thank, other than Barbara up there?

Karna and Ellis!  They stole them!  Thanks, everyone!

Though this post is more than a little late, we figured it made sense to do it now for the following reasons:

• ‘Tis the Christmas season, a time for giving and thanks!
• The Wren’s Nest is poor, so giving and thanks play significant roles over here.   Any gift, large or small, is a big deal to us.
• And really, we probably have a use for most of your discarded items.  I mean, Christmas lights in August were huge.  Look how easy we are!
