I actually rarely have a sad sentiment, although I am sure I sound that way sometimes. It is hard to write in reflective tones without sounding sad. :)

We couldn't cut out tree down like normal. They were having a problem irradicating a bug that was in some of the trees, so I opted out of that and bought one that was cut for me and checked. We will cut one next year. I move frequently for work, so I am not anywhere long enough to grow a tree. :) No worries, I will run and upvote/repost your post right now.

No worries! I am glad you take the time to post!
