Sunday morning we went off to my wife’s cousin’s house to go over the arrangements for my MIL’s memorial Thursday.

It is a nice place, even with the cat.
Then, it was off to practice. Only one left after this at Hoops. I’d be sad about that, but my sad quota is full right now.

Our friend Bill, who does Viking research and reenactment, had a Christmas tree giving away party yesterday. He grows his own trees and it is where we got our tree last year.

I am amazed that all of the trees are the same age. Some are double my height and some are only up to my knee. But, he planted them all at the same time when they were the same size. It really shows what a small change in soil and sunlight can do to a tree.

It was strange because at one point I was the only one without a PHd out getting the trees.

We didn’t take a tree because of our Christmas plans. It felt sad to leave the trees behind. I could almost feel them pouting about not being picked. Especially when Bill said he would cull the herd before next year.
I didn’t feel well yesterday and was worried I was coming down with something. But, today I feel better. Hopefully it was just an allergy overload from the house of ick, moving dust and the cat Sunday morning.
