Today, after church, Dad and I took a hike up behind the house on a search for this year's Christmas tree... After hiking up halfway up the mountain and along the property line, we chopped down a lovely tree and carried it home. After erecting it in the living room, we began to untangle the Christmas lights... in the middle of trying to get the lights working... the wind blew so hard that the power was knocked out so plans rapidly changed and we were forced to play cribbage by candlelight for awhile and make s'mores over the fireplace. When we were really having fun, the power came back on... so,we headed down to the workshop and made Christmas presents for awhile. We will have to decorate the tree tomorrow!
