I have decided to call it Quits for Pete’s trail of lights.
Yes…a few tears are happening to write this…darn wine! I have hopefully brought
smiles, laughter, memories, a few cries, splendor, and speechless moments into
many folks/kids/babies worlds. For the
Ten years I have lived in Circle C, eight were spent with an evolving trail of
lights. Each year via my OCD, the trail grew. I could not wait to buy all the
sales stuff and come up with crazy ideas for the next year. Staying outdoors
until 2 or 3am without a game plan
while listing to Ghostland was so awesome! From my crazy UFO built from papasan chairs,
to the Tasmanian Devil sitting on a toilet, the pleasure was all mine.
This past year, I had nothing left. The weather keeps me up
all night because the inflatables must remain blown up during rain events not
to mention being tied down to my house for 2.5 plus months. The cost was 8-10k
per year and worth every penny. I am so going to miss it I just having nothing
left in my tank. Thank you for all your support especially for the homeless
donations. I am truly all about giving and helping others. I have a huge void
to fill and right now I am a pretty sad dude. Hugs…and thank you for all the
love and support.
