We put the tree up last night. Though I grew up with fresh cut trees and I miss the smell, I don’t miss the mess. Ours comes out of the basement in a big bag.
While husband and I were setting up the tree Katie thought she’d help. Silly dog.
Later in the evening we found her curled up in the bag taking a nap. It’s hard work to be a helper dog.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

Tell Katie to be careful that she doesn’t get packed up and put away in the basement while she’s napping in that bag. LOL

I guess dog help is a lot of work from the dog’s point of view. Hey, Katie, you are so cute!

We’re all getting our trees up! And those of you with pets have a little extra help… Is your tree all decorated, too? We have our tree up, but it doesn’t have a stitch on it yet.
