I wasn’t to tell a story. A woman got a message from her rental community one day that her patio lights were in violation of the community rules. They were referred to as “Holiday lights” and she was told to remove them within a week because it was now Springtime. Well…they were actually four seasons lights she put in place so she could enjoy them year-round, and she reluctantly removed them immediately. She cried all night and cried the next morning because she loved her lights and truthfully, did not want to be micromanaged. It turned out, she received the message by mistake and the community loved her lights. Had she waited and spoken with the administration, she would have gotten to keep her beautiful lights.
