   We always had a real tree. Michigan White Pine. Great needles and the only one that didn’t make me break out, but two years ago, husband decided he was getting too old to lay on the ground and cut ours. Cutting those fresh means they’ll last until Valentine’s day without any lost needles. So we got a Balsam Hill that looks like Charlie Brown’s tree and I’m happy.

   I’ve never seen running snow shoes! I’m in that nether land between Detroit and Bay City. We get the snow effect enough that if I drive four miles south, there’s about a three inch difference less than outside my door. If I drive 10 miles north, I can hit another foot. It’s…interesting.

   He does, but different parts of Michigan get different snowfall rates depending on how close or far from one of the Great Lakes you are.

   C’mon, Frazz. You know that’s not true. Every few years, we have a snowfall here where you could wear snowshoes for a couple days at least. It’s all cyclical. :) Just like the minute you sell that truck, you need to haul something.

   I don’t like that smile on ’father’s’ face…this does not bode well. Then again, my dad, who never missed TY&TR after he retired, right up to the end, would tell the TV every time, “Just wait. Something’s coming and it’s going to change everything!”

   I was thinking the same thing!

   This will probably be the last update I’ll give on the monster who murdered five of our extended family members. For those who don’t know, our son-in-law’s aunt, two daughter’s, daughter’s husband and unborn baby were killed when an illegal immigrant, illegally driving a 3/4 rig for a trucking company out of Florida crossed the median on I75 in Ohio on Christmas Eve in 2022, taking out both vehicles they were traveling in tandem in and killing them all instantly. He was high on drugs at the time and driving an empty rig in terrible weather against the law. The first trial was a fiasco so the state attorney general got involved, retrying him and the murderer took a plea deal. Yesterday was his sentencing and…no surprise! He was a No Show! So now the US Marshalls are looking for him, but if they can cross easily with no documentation to enter our country, they can certainly cross just as easily to get out. My gut reaction is, he’s gone back to his country and will never be punished for the taking of 5 lives. And so it ends. Thing 2 and her husband, his uncle and extended family are devastated because there is no justice. This guy was left to walk free while awaiting sentencing rather than sitting in a cell where he should have been. So now he’s gone.

   I want to thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers and kindness through this. I’ve passed them all along. Last Christmas was very hard and this year won’t be much easier, especially for Thing 2. Not only was this our SIL’s immediate family, but one of the cousins killed was also Thing 2’s BFF. Thank you all. The Orb means the world to me.
