Festival

There were rows and rows and rows of trees. It's an anuual event in Fort Wayne and this year, there were fewer entries. Last year we missed this festival of trees. There were many contendors, but I voted for not a single one. Had I voted, the "Peace" tree would have been my favorite.

Thomas, Lois, Diane, Jennifer, and Jessica went downtown on a glorious and warm day. Marcus, photographer, was with them. They viewed the 40 some trees in the historic Embassy Theater with wonderful architecture. After the long walk -- good for Lois, we visited a coffee shop. Aspen Coffee is slightly cheaper than Starbucks. Lois had a difficult time of it as the machines were very loud making drinks. There was a group of eight after us, we lucked out with timing.

Our next adventure -- downtown Santa on sleigh light display. Also, there is a man who has the largest display in the county. It is a wonder to see. Snow adds to the magic of the display, so, we should wait.

Lois and Thomas are doing okay, tired and needing rest more than usual, but with the holiday coming, that is natural. To everyone -- Happy belated Thanksgiving and an early Merry Christmas!
