<span class="ev_code_RED">..So how do YOU decorate for the Holidays? </span>...I thought I would share a couple of photos of the first LIVE Christmas tree I have put up in many years...and it is in the coach!


...and I will tell you that I did NOT stop there...my Fiber Optic Tree is on the dash to greet the folks coming into te park...


The live tree I got for free because we are giving away Christmas trees to folks who test drive vehicles..and those trees are pretty darned big...but the Tree Farm Owner had this one cut specifically for me! (Thanks again, Kerry! )

You can see a few more photos here...

There were a few nights a little over a week ago that I wished I did...but I told Sacs tonight as I walked out to the car this evening that I would never have thought 53* would not be cold until now!
It has been a LOOOONG day .. and after winding down and clearing off my bed..I am off to sleep (about an hour later than planned..and an hour earlier than normal).."Nite, JohnBoy" and everyone else!

Mama that is a really nice tree, and free to boot, can't beat that.
We have a small "fake" tree on the dash but a much larger tree at the home in the mountains. We live amongst the pines and cedars yet have a fake tree in the house.

Mama,

I see where you struck your tree. Looks nice there. But where are you and Sacs gonna hang your stockings?

SacsTC will take care of that with a little stove pipe and a sawzall.

Mama,

What a beautiful tree. I plan on getting a small tree myself next week as I have finally found my coach which I pick up next Tuesday and join the Fulltiming lifestyle.

I am so excited, like a little kid. YEAH..

Pictures and details will be posted next week of my new home, my coach.

Ron, that sounds like a great idea, with a small pot-bellied stove glowing bright red. However, I don't think that me cutting a hole in the roof will help dry out the rug that MM is mopping up with towels every day.

Robin, you already know how much room I get for my clothes, but I never gave a thought to hanging them on the outside of the cabinets !!! Maybe that'll teach her...

Bama...it is ok.. the leak was not put out there as a new topic for us...and I think we have decided it is probably from the windshield and traveling down to the front driver corner area. It probably would not be noticed by many owners since they aren't in their RVs during the rainy season...but ugh ...that is not my case..and when you step on wet carpet in socked feet - well it is obvious! (Hey-at least I didn't experience the waterfalls from the bedroom slides like a few other folks I have talked to! )
Anyway-I am sure we will get it taken care of ...and now....you can continue doing those "arm curls"

Wow! Very festive. My idea of decorating with all solar powered LEDs did not go over well with Ang, so we settled on a huge lighted wreath on the front of the coach that Ang made. I am sure there will be more as the holiday gets closer...
