One of my favorite things…people who are generous to others. We were the recipient of one of those generosities last night at church. A guy at a church has a tree farm and he gave us a free Christmas tree…A fresh one. Well it was a piece of paper telling us he was giving us one! We have to go pick it out. We have a fake one but I LOVE REAL Christmas trees!!

A few plans for the rest of the week: House back in shape and get the dryer fixed!! I can’t do laundry with out a dryer…if I hang out my laundry now..they won’t dry, they will freeze!
