Christmas tree Cutting





So we went today and got our tree. This year we decided to go up the mountain and get it instead of buying one at a tree farm. It only cost $10 for the permit. We ran into our next door neighbors at the ranger station and they ended up coming with us. That was allot of fun to go with them. Nora is like a third Grandma to Carmen and we like to trade children once in awhile. Their son Stephen has become like our other child. It's a nice thing.
We got to go up high enough (4,000ft)to get into a little bit of snow so that was even more fun for Carmen. The mountains coming up were beautiful and coming down the sun was setting. OMG! What an amazing sight to see. The pictures don't do it justice. I think we will do this again next year.

My Grandfather



My cousin had a couple of old pictures of my Papa. She had them restored and sent me copies. I love these old photos! He was so handsome and dashing in his suit and uniform. No wonder my Granny C fell in love! He died about 11 years ago and I miss him alot! He was such a character and extremely smart! (that's where I get it from if you were wondering- LOL)
He was an Italian man through and through! He loved family and food and laughter.
His favorite thing to do was tell the joke "What did the farmer say when the bull died?"
He would try to get us to answer but, we knew we would get in trouble.
Answer: "No more bullshit from you bud" HAHA LOL
Oh yeah and no one was better at the pull my finger gag!
I so wish Carmen could have met him.
