MAQUOKETA HOME DECORATIONS

WE DROVE  AROUND MAQUOKETA THIS WEEKEND, TO SEE THE HOME DECORATIONS UP ALL OVER TOWN.     AND OF COURSE, THEY LOOKED ESPECIALLY NICE WITH THE FRESH SNOW.    I'LL BE PUTTING SOME PHOTOS HERE BETWEEN NOW AND CHRISTMAS.    

THE HOME ABOVE IS THE HOME OF KIM AND LUANNE HUCKSTADT.    THE
PHOTO TAKEN BY THEIR NEIGHBORS, DAN AND  JULIE YAROLEM.    KIM
SAID EVERY YEAR HE WONDERS IF HE WILL BE HANGING THE LIGHTS AGAIN BUT KEEPS DOING IT BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT THE
CHRISTMAS SEASON AND TRYING TO DO ONE'S PART TO BRIGHTEN SOMEONE'S DAY.      KIM POINTS OUT TWO CANDLES IN THE UPPER WINDOW
THIS YEAR....ONE FOR THEIR SON WHO HAS BEEN "STUDYING" IN LONDON SINCE AUGUST AND IS SCHEDULED TO RETURN JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS.
THIS OTHER CANDLE IS FOR ALL THE MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE SERVING IN OTHER LANDS FAR FROM HOME SO THAT WE CAN ENJOY THE FREEDOM WE HAVE IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY.     DRIVE  BY THE HOME
AT 511 SOUTH 2ND STREET.    DR. KIM AND LUANNE WISH EVERYONE A 
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
