We're more used to $35 trees we cut ourselves at our friends farm, we'd never spend that kind of money on a tree. We should arrive at Catalina SP on 12/28, looking forward to seeing you guys.

So far just sore and achy muscles, Dave's arthritis in his hands has born the brunt of the hurting.

Lots of money in the area, sold 2 of the 12' yesterday, with only 10 days left till Christmas and the trees need a couple of days to "fall out" before they can be decorated. Way to expensive for us, even when we were working. <br /><br />Maybe one day we can make it back to McKinney Falls in the spring to see it in all its glory.

Unless the budget can accommodate, I d rather buy me something nice .<br />Hope we can see you by the end of this month!

I don't know though, I think I'd just invest in a good fake tree. :) <br /><br />We happened to visit McKinney during the Spring and you are right - it was definitely beautiful! So many wildflowers! but I think it's a great park anytime of year. Anyway, hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, and good luck with the tree sales!Laura (Chapter 3 Travels)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11642027718693210448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688095451608579339.post-61132659475139286672019-11-30T06:27:22.755-06:002019-11-30T06:27:22.755-06:00One of these winters we are going to get down ther...One of these winters we are going to get down there to do some fishing with you guys!
