Re: Re: [GRD] Re: OT Christmas tree

 Cathy:  Would you like me to run over there this weekend and see if  I can find one to send you?  It would be no  hardship, I promise, as it is one of my all time favorite places to visit!  The little one  I bought was only a couple of dollars (less than $5)...Melody, IA (Z 5/4)
