This weekend I needed to help my parents with their tree. My mom injured her shoulder and was out of commission for all tree duties. The process started with going to the storage shed and lugging the very large and very expensive  fake tree into the car with my dad. Then we had to put it together and separate all the limbs. Even though she originally bought the tree years ago with lights attached, of course the lights no longer work, so we (dad and I ) needed to string additional lights...... Here we have dad and I stringing the lights. Too funny!! The last time my dad strung lights, my mom fired him from ever doing it again!




When we finally finished with the tree - it looked as gorgeous as usual! This is a BIG tree. My tree is really little and skinny - maybe I'll post a picture of it next week. 



Sunday was a perfect ocean swim from Vanderbilt Beach with 10 other open water swimmers and Boazeiden!!

This week I wrote all the practices ahead - so here you go.....Wednesday San Carlos practice TBD...
