Have a view of my daily photos or photos from my past. We all need to document the world around us visually. What I see is mostly what you get.

Bubblemania.......
I purchased a couple sets of these bubble lights a few years ago. I vaguely remember them from older days as we had one strand of them when I was a kid and the thin material wrapped around the wires made them very dangerous. I always share the story of seeing these on a tree at the country school near our farm home that dad and mom rented. My three older brothers attended there and we went for a Christmas party and I suppose a program. I wasn't very old, maybe going on 4 years old, and to keep that memory seems strange but I did.
I think I can pull down only two memories from the school even though our school bus passed buy it everyday when I was older and attending the town school. The other memory is of sitting on a runner board of a car and running up and down in the ditch. I do remember that they had something inside the glass vacuum tubes of filled with something like little rocks which would cause the lights to have a pinging sound as the water bubbled. Someday I hope to find more sets on sale at retail again. I have not seen them for sale for a long time. I have seen the ancient strands for sale on the internet.
