Road Trip

Montgomery Co. VA
December 4, 2002
For the past 3 years I have been getting my own Christmas tree and having a big ol party. I wasn't able to get the tree from the same place as I had. I did find a place and on the first day of snow in Blacksburg (not planned) Ripcord, Bree and I went to get a tree. The weather was rather unforgiving. We put Ripcords new tires to the test!
I was very happy with the choices, even if they were smaller than I had been getting in the past. Two years ago, was no doubt the widest tree ever.. Last year I crammed a 12 foot tree in there somehow. This yeah I was going to go with the pine trees of gigantic proprtions, but I went with a fir that was very well shaped. Good stuff. Our neighbors from upstairs came down and helped us decorate. A great way to meet new people. One day I will get a tree bigger than I had last year... but I don't think my ceilings will allow it. Guess I'll have to put it sideways.. check back soon to see the outside decorations..
