Jared and I took one of my friends to the Festival of the Trees which is a huge production here in the valley. Jared was the photographer and so I just had to show you a couple of my favorite unique trees--obviously the golf tree, since it has such an appeal to so many of my guys, plus this glass tree. Alan and Karen Ashton, think owners of Thanksgiving Point, original owner of WordPerfect, commissioned a local artist to create this hand-blown glass tree, plus the glass boxes to the side which look like wrapped Christmas presents, plus artificial trees with hand-blown glass ornaments.... There are 800 trees, half full size, plus gingerbread houses, door ornaments, handmade gifts, etc., etc. Because of the volunteerism, every penny goes to benefit Primary Children's Hospital, last year bringing in $1,600,000. Unbelievable!! My counselor and her family did a missionary tree; that's the main reason I went. We're thinking of doing a tree next year, not the Gonzalez family, but the RS. Anyway, I'm really tired and have LOTS of typing so have to get up early. Bye.

I had such a great time that me we went together! We should make that a yearly event! Hotel and all! Wish I could have been there with you!
