Some of the guys breaking down & cleaning out the flocking machine, as well as the flocking tent

Seriously, this is our own personal snowman, made out of flocking material, we should have done this sooner! He can be our official greeter...

LOOK! It "snowed" on our lot! It left a snowman!

Friday, December 19

The days are winding down to the end of our stint here in Walnut Creek. This weekend will be the last chance for people wanting to get a tree for Christmas. I've been taking it easy, not working, because there hasn't been that much happening on the lot to require both of us out there. Ron has been braving the cold temperatures and I have been either doing things in the rig or shopping or doing laundry. Today was particularly slow, I guess, because the guys decided to do some playing in the "snow", as you will see. On Monday, we'll start tearing down our lot, until by Tuesday afternoon, we should be ready to clear out of here on Christmas Day. We'd like to take this time to wish all of our Boomer friends, stick house friends and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

This week is a break of sorts, because it's not as busy as on the weekends. Guess we'll be getting our last load of trees on Wednesday. Believe it or not, we are all out of garland and most of our wreaths. We just have the 24 inch ones left, as well as 4 candy cane wreaths. We'll probably sell out of those in the coming days. And even though it has been really cold, we are still having fun interacting with the customers and our crew of young men, I'll almost be sorry to see it all end....

Here's one of our lot workers getting creative with the flocking machine, we have two excellent flockers on our lot
