All Done

The last of the Christmas trees went out the gate today. We still had quite a few left but probably sold as many trees as last year. The 100 or so trees we had left were split between being taken to the local recycler and being taken to another lot where they will be sold to all of those last minute bargain hunters. We had enough of those this past week to last me a lifetime. It's hard for me to be civil to someone driving up in a Mercedes and demanding (yes demanding!) a tree for half price. But I suppose that is how they could afford that Mercedes.

I'm not posting any pictures because it has been too wet and cold for me to even think of bringing out the camera. We have most of the sales trailer packed up (yes, everything on the lot fits in the trailer) and will finish tomorrow. We just got tired of getting soaked.

We will be leaving here on Tuesday morning and head across the SF Bay to our daughter's place in Walnut Creek where we will stay until Dec 29. We normally wouldn't be staying that late but our son and his family will be having a first birthday celebration on Dec 28. His birthday isn't until January but they will be heading back up to Oregon so decided to celebrate early with all of the California family before they left.

We can't wait to get back to the peace and quiet of Coarsegold! We've had enough of all the planes trains, automobiles, ambulances and the millions of people!

We're done with the Christmas tree season so...ain't life grand!!
