鈥淏e wise, be brave, believe, behave, be careful, be kind, be safe, be happy, be grateful, because, we can do this.鈥

That鈥檚 what the decor outside of Jeanette Wright鈥檚 home at 240 Street and Robertson Crescent has spelled out across 10 cardboard smiley faces set up along her front yard.

The soon-to-be 70-year-old said she put them up in April as a way to put a smile on people鈥檚 faces during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.

鈥淧eople have stopped in just to tell us how much they like them,鈥 Wright said.

But positive decor is Wright鈥檚 specialty, given the homemade bottle chimes, growing family tree, and comical signs posted around her yard.

Wright said she and her husband have been in that home for 52 years and hopes it gives people positive feelings during turbulent times.

鈥淚t鈥檚 cheesy, but it鈥檚 what we do,鈥 Wright said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 our home and we do what makes us happy.鈥
