Going Artificial

9 years ago

Well, this is the last year we'll be doing a real tree. George and I loved choosing a tree, getting it cut and bringing it home, but decided this year was our last.

Since I now have arthritis in my right hip, knee and ankle, it was harder to help him put the tree in the bucket before we brought it in the house and later getting it in the house. He also has arthritis in his hands.

We both agree we'll miss the real thing, but we also realize it's time to make life a bit easier.

We have a local garden center that has some really nice trees that go on sale on the 26th for half price. We bought a smaller tree for the living room 12 years ago and decided that we'd keep using a real one till it got too difficult for us. Sadly, that time has arrived.

We'll miss our traveling to the local tree farm where we always go the day after Thanksgiving.
