You don't know how much this made me laugh, picturing you getting all butch and all!<br /><br />You may have seen my tree this year -- a table top artificial thing. Minimum effort, hassle, cost. Perfect.<br /><br />Once you get yours sawed off (you butch thing, you) and decorate, you will finally be delighted.

Shape-shifting describes it perfectly. The experience that was has taken on a new identity. And, it feels not dreary in the reading but altered and affirming. I hope you decorate it til the branches complain and enjoy it until the needles drop. xoMarylinn Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02759437467691163658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-937211191284874151.post-13395351122708975662011-12-11T21:35:56.871-08:002011-12-11T21:35:56.871-08:00I threatened to lop off a branch from the giant Do...I threatened to lop off a branch from the giant Douglas fir in the yard, sling it up on the wall in lieu of an entire tree.<br /><br />My son vetoed the idea.
