Alegent Health’s Rose Ann Auxillary did a great job setting up the Holiday tours this year. We were able to participate by decorating the ACEDC spec home that is for sale out at Spring Lake Sub-division. For an empty house it decorated up nicely.
With the wonderful help of Gary & Judy Thompson and Nancy Turner we got the house shipshape. Then Jean Peckham, Jane Rychnovsky, Stacie Hull and yours truly went to work bringing decorations from hither and yon to adorn the large space. We felt pleased with the results and had many compliments during the tours. We also added a little holiday humor by handing out Christmas jokes and riddles . . . "How many reindeer does it take to change a lightbulb? . . . . . 8 - one to change the light bulb and seven to hold Rudolph down." (LOL) The first person to call and tell me this joke on the phone before Christmas get’s a free latte or hot chocolate at The Fickle Frog in Corning. Anyway, back to the decorating. The staff at Alegent Health also got into the holiday spirit by decorating what we fondly call the Grow Iowa House - another spec home at the subdivision. They really went to town.
The whole place was delightful. You can check out more of the photos from the day by visitng Holiday Home Tours. Hope your holidays are filled with lots of happy surprises, warm greetings, and friends and family gathered around you.
