Our 2006 Christmas Tree Purchase

I wrote a few days ago about our first Christmas Tree buying experience here in California.

Yesterday we decided it was time to go and get the traditional tree for this year (only 3 weeks away - hard to believe). We returned to the tree farm where we bought last year's tree (see the pic) and, after a rather lengthy search, found our tree. Here I am...and it is!

The weather was fabulous - 78 degrees, sunny, clear. It was amazing to me to think that, years ago when we were in Minneapolis, we went and bought our tree about 3 weeks before the holiday when it was 29 below 0 - that's 117 degrees colder than it was yesterday! I love being here!!
