Written for RDP, where Martha Kennedy asks
us to get creative with the word ‘change’.
Thanks, Martha! Here’s my take.
This year it was time to change the old, barely-working artificial wreath on our front door. The new one is more modern-looking and has a good amount of purple which complements the light pink stucco of our house. We were very surprised to found out the wreath requires four D batteries and we can’t figure out why it needs that much power, but that is a moot point. After the decorations were up, we needed to check the batteries in our many candles; most of them were dead or dying, so we had to change them out for new ones. I honestly think it took us longer to change all the batteries in the candles than it did to decorate the house for Christmas!

I thought all of my Christmas decorating was done, but 2 strings of lights just burned out, and I ordered new ones, but they won’t arrive till Sunday.

That’s a cool looking wreath, like the purples. Stock up on plenty of those AA batteries this year lol. Excellent track from CCR!

You got that right, Ernie! It really is a very cool wreath and it looks beautiful against the pale pink of the house and the grayish purple front door.
