Hectic Heaven

He said it'll be quick up and back...

and six hours later we drove in the driveway:> needless to say the turkey didnt get cooked and the big football game we were going to watch wasnt even aired locally lol

It has been pretty foggy here the last few days so it was nice to escape it even for a few hours...the sun was shining and it was warm enough on the hill ,we didnt even need sweatshirts...we had a great time.. we came home with a tree that is about 3 feet to tall, (we did pretty good usually it is much more off.. funny how everything looks so much smaller out in the great outdoors), a craftsman wrench (found on the side of the dirt road we were bouncing down) and quite a few shaggy mane mushrooms, and a batch of fried chicken mushrooms...they were tasty:>

its cold and foggy back in the valley and the fog is so thick I am very thankful we are all tucked in for the night...we brought the tree in for the night so it wouldnt freeze but I think tomorrow we will be getting a new Christmas tree stand...we have been limping by with this one too long... we will make a dump run tomorrow...

The trip tip roast  Dad marinates in a mesquite marinade...once its grilled he slices it... very good!  

A  trick I like to use to make it really good is to add a ounce or two of  tequilla in with the mesquite marinade it gives  it a nice little zing....

Getting a tree in your shirt sleeves. Sounds so different. Sounds nice too. Warm weather sounds more appealing to me every year. God help me to be content where I am. Unless He moves in our lives, we arent' going anywhere.
The sun is shining in the new window my honey put in on Thanksgiving. It's cold but beautiful outside.
Are you going to post pictures of your tree? We won't be putting ours up for another couple of weeks.
Love,
Rhonda
