Halloween, well here is how it all started. This bat was made by my father in the early 60's. As you can imagine the years are starting to take a tole on it. The last time it was outside on display was 2009, now I have it inside my house during Halloween. Dad is working on a new version of the bat for 2012.

The bat has a wing span of almost 3 feet. Springs attach the wings to the body so they can move up and down. My Dad was a Dentist so you can imagine he gave the bat some nice teeth.

Christmas was also a fun time at our house. My brother Doug started decorating the outside of our family home long before I took over. Here is a photo from the mid 1970's. The snowman on the porch came from Zayres and I actually had it in my display until a few years ago when some vandals destoryed it.

This Santa was from my parents home, Santa came from Zayres in the 70's. When my Sister Melody got married and move to Lexington Santa went with her and I got our Snowman for my house. In 2003 she sent Santa to be with us. He spent a few years on the roof but he was difficult to get up there safely and in 2009 I grounded him.
