THIS & THAT

Vern and I were shopping at Target the other day and parked next to a small tree. As we walked by I saw the tree had red berries on it. I looked at the leaves and realized it was a holly tree. I had never seen one before.Pretty cool. There were holly trees all around the parking lot.



We went for a ride through one of the neighborhoods where Vern jogs and rides his bike. It's quiet and not much traffic. We have to laugh at some of the street signs we see. One of them is "watch out for manhole covers". Vern laughed and said maybe they don't put covers on them. The signs are there because the cover are raised above the road 2 or 3 inches. There's a bump when you go over one of them.



I have my Christmas tree up and all my decorating done. You can't do much, but I need a little. Our tree is about 3 1/2 feet tall and I think it is cute. I have a garland with lights on the dash and my motor home light (about 1 ft. long and 6inches high) that sits under the tree. Outside we took white rope lights and wound around the tripod for the satellite dish and added a couple red bows and we have a tree outside. I had a string of multi colored rope lights and we put that around the patio. It lights up our corner of the camp ground. Since we did our decorating a few other campers have put a few things out. "It's getting to look a lot like Christmas."



The wild fire is still burning, but I haven't heard too much about it lately. I know it's burned way over a thousand acres. It may be a marsh area, but it is terrible to have lost all those trees.
