The Christmas Tree of 2013

Our tree has been selected.

 It is a 1970/80’s ceramic tree that was made by Richard’s Aunt May. There were three Sloan girls. May was the oldest, then Anna and finally Richard’s mother, Bernadette. Of the three, Anna was the only one I ever met. May and Bernadette had been gone something in the 10 year neighborhood when I met Richard.

Now, there is a long and short version to this story. I look pretty damn fine in the short version. The long one shows some of my warts and other unattractive characteristics.

So, let’s go with the short version.

The tree had lain broken in a box in the attic for many years. I got it out and fixed it as best I could.

I know, even I wish I had a boyfriend as thoughtful as me.
