Tree Trimming

I put up the Christmas tree last night and was all but tired when I was done. Jim kept staring at it saying it was something in like a store window. Pictures never do them justice and wonder if I should grab the digital to post a picture or not?
I hope to look forward to seeing an old friends Lynn and Bill from when I was stationed at Offutt AFB in Omaha. It has been 17 years? Wow, seems like a lifetime ago when I say it that way. The saying went; Once you get on it, you can't get Off It", but being Navy at an AFB I was there less than 2 years.

Right now I have about 15 pumpkins in my kitchen. The sign read on the trailer that looked like it was being used in a hay ride; "Pumpkins Free To Good Home". Well, my home is as good as any other and I Love Pumpkin Pies. I have the dubious job of cleaning and steaming them tonight and packing them away in jars for year round use. Free is a good price grant you, it just costs lots of time.
Cool Whip here I come.
