Next Thing You Know..................

Poppa bought new garlands for the tree and put them on.  Then he put on his three new packages of balls.  And Nanna stood back and declared it good and beautiful!  The next day Nanna went off to work and left Poppa and the tree at home.  Lo and Behold!  When I got home I discovered that Poppa had bought two more packages of balls and some tinsel.  The tree looked even more beautiful!  We turned it on and admired the pre-strung lights.

Later in the day we got a call from Mumma asking if we could pick up some Baby Wipes for the weekend, since she only had a few left.  So...off we went to Wal-Mart in search of Baby Wipes - no problem - away went the two old people in search of something that we'd never purchased in our lives, and had no inkling of which were good and which were not.  Eventually, after perusing labels on about six different kinds, we selected some made by Pampers, and carried on.  Poppa then advises me that he thinks we should get a tree skirt.  So off we head to the Christmas decoration displays.  We picked up a lovely tree skirt and a new star for the top.  This little tiny tree has now cost the working member of the family a small fortune............but...............here it is!
