The Kind of People We Are






























Some people are given a hard time because they don't bother to undo the lights and take their tree down until Valentine's Day.

Apparently there are other people who manage to get their tree up but never get around to putting the lights on it at all. Do you think it's too late?

And please don't ask what it's doing on the dinner table.

We got sick 3 years ago and didn't take our tree down until Feb. 12th or there 'bouts. I had to stiffle the urge to just toss it all.

I say put red lights up, hang hearts all over it and call it a day.

Or try dumping RuTone (rooting hormone) into the well. If it takes root you can plant it outside and boast it was a "rescue" tree.

Funny, just this morning, before reading your blog, I said to myself, "hmmmmmmm,I wonder if they ever decorated that damn dining room table tree over there near the ocean." Maybe the blogmaid can loan you some pumpkins for underneath-decor?

Looks great to me! We never got a tree this year. They were all gone by the time we looked for one.

I think it needs some blue and green balls. No lights. It still smells good, right? Bill wanted to get rid of all of ours yesterday, but I only let him take down the Barbie tree.

Okay. So what's it doing on the table?

Mean Jean: ha! Thanks for the laugh.

Namo: More laughs.

Lisa: Thank you. That's so comforting to hear.

Mary Ann: It was really hard on me for you to see the damn dining room table tree in person.

Stray: You're my kind of people.

Kristin: To think of the boxes of decorations you gave me! At least I've put the Dav Pilkey books to good use.

Mari: I'm ashamed to say that was my brilliant idea. By the time we got it to stand up without falling over, and poured gallons of water into the holder, I realized it was a little large to be a table top tree. By then we couldn't maneuver it back down onto the floor without without siphoning the water out. And it was really too high to decorate without a ladder, etc, etc.
