Lydia had spent the night, and I forced her to watch the rebroadcast of
The Wiz with me. It was excellent. Though I think Broadway shows are not her thing.
This morning started with walking Adonis up to the cemetery. We had planned to do his full walk, but there were dogs everywhere. We ended up going thru the cemetery and then into Junk Park. There the dog tried some of the playground equipment.
About two weeks ago Pat said that we could have a small tree. I checked at the pool and the fire department trees were $25 and opened today at 9. But last night she decided that a small tree from the FD was too large. We should get a tiny tree from Giant. Knowing that it was this or nothing, off to Giant we went.
We had to go to several to find one that still had some. I carried it into the house with two bags of groceries in one hand, and the tiny tree in the other. I believe that Megan's toddler is taller.
I found a string of lights and some paper stars. Had I known I'd be decorating a tiny tree, I would have sorted the decorations last year when I put them away. I will be making more paper items to go on this tree. It needs a top.
After the exhausting work of buying a tree and setting it up, Lydia and I headed down to Christkindlmarket. This is one of the windows at the Welcome Center. The picture at the top is at the big tree in the center court. They have it positioned perfectly for the blast furnace.
Christkindlmarket was busy, but not crazy. It was colder so no one was milling around outside. I found the perfect Christmas gift for Bonnie but it was $200. A little out of the budget.
After walking the market, we headed to the HMT and then to the ArtsQuest center. They had a display of gingerbread houses. A couple were ordinary. Several kicked butt.
Then we walked home.
And walked the dog again.
