Oh! Christmas Tree!

Well, the tree is finally decorated. We got it last weekend and it had been sitting a few days with just the star on top and a single red plastic ribbon on one branch, left over from when it was marked for cutting on the tree farm.
Here's a picture of it all lit up in the dark room. You can see some of the lights on the bushes outside the window. The tree is decorated with one string of 100 mini-lights, two strings of seven bubble lights each, a few candy-cane striped ball ornaments, and various other ornaments we've accumulated over the years. Our favorites are the Rudolph and Misfit Toys, and the other toy-themed ornaments such as an Easy-Bake Oven and a Slinky. (The oven smells like cake and the slinky moves up and down and plays the slinky jingle.) The dark line along the top of the wall is painter's tape. It's been there a little while.

Entry for November 01, 2006

To kick off this the first entry in my Secret Blog, let's all sing the Blog song!

It's blog, it's blog,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's blog, it's blog, it's better than bad, it's good.

Everyone wants a blog
You're gonna love it, blog
Come on and get your blog
Everyone needs a blog
blog blog blog

Okay. Not too original and a bit of a stretch, but I've got the wood background going here so it works well enough. And there's trees. Bite me.

The Secret Photo above is a small sample of the fall foliage surrounding the Secret Lair.

I hope you all had a safe and enjoyable Halloween. Perhaps more later.
