Good morning, Ron, I hope you all get plenty of rain. It seems like there are so many wild fires, that have become common place the last few years. They really scare me. We are fortunate not to have had any nearby since we've lived out here.

The big one in Southern CA was in January too

I'm supposed to be organizing, but I'm just not feeling it...lol

So, I decided to do a tiny bit of decorating...

These are both tree's that my mother made in my aunts ceramic shop, back in the early 70's. We lost her last year on the 18th, she will be forever missed. She was 93.

I've put this one up for years. It fits perfectly with my blue and silver this year.

I'm giving this one to my daughter this year. We're doing a little repair work. The base had a crack, fixed with epoxy and hubs will be adding a new power cord. It's also missing some ornaments and she wants a star topper, I was able to find both and ordered them.

So fun to see these! My mom took a ceramics class way back when and made a green tree. Nice to see your trees Rene

Thank you! I was pretty spoiled and also made several pieces in my aunts shop. It was a big thing back then.

It's kind of making a comeback. There's a shop in the Tri-Cities and also in Spokane.

These are keepsakes and I'm so glad my daughter wants one. She would also like the other one, but that's mine for now.

My Mom did the same thing. I think it is up in the attic 'crawl space'. I need to check on that.

Would love to see it!

Exactly like the green tree that Rene posted. You know me and pictures.
