Earlier in October, Debbie and Gayle (my editorial assistant) wanted to set up a photo shoot to get some images for our Christmas cards. Here's what they did.
Back in 2005, our home burned down. We decided to rebuild. Debbie tried to be finished by Christmas, 2006, but it wasn't to be. So, we wanted to celebrate Christmas at LL,2, so we found a neat spot across the pond and we planted a living Christmas tree. We celebrated Christ's birth and enjoyed family around that tree. Here we are, 2010 and that gangly tree is almost 9 feet tall, up from the 4 feet it was when we planted it. It's overcome all Texas odds from intense heat to a shortage of moisture and is doing quite well. So, we decided to decorate it early and use it. We'll spend time there around Christmas, too. Here's some of the photos for those two days.
Gayle wanted to display the traveling lure collection before it headed off the California for its next adventure.
