I had not looked forward to the job.  In no way had I wanted to go through all the bother.  But the Christmas spirit finally kicked in, I did it!  Oh, and it wasn’t as difficult as I thought it might be to put up the tree.

Just having fun with you.  Our “tree” has been up for a couple of weeks already.  The beautiful ceramic unit was made by my late mother-in-law.  It doesn’t shed needles and is lighted from the inside by a single bulb.  Our son, Scott, installed a high-intensity LED to illuminate the star that tops that small tree.

I wrote on Friday that I thought I had located a cousin, but then discovered that I had found a woman from a different state.  Turns out that it is the cousin I was searching for. :frolic:

My hand is not doing any better, which means I must limit my time here at the computer.  For that reason, I’ll keep this short.
