Didn't need to see his wife giving birth or his glorification of himself.

Unfortunately she gave up blogging or at least the blog she had.

Out west, I always had a pinion pine and they were real sappy. Yes, I'm sure we have lots of similar musical taste from reading your blog.<br /><br />Murf, (2nd reply as I missed your question). First of all, I'm pretty sure we don't have much musical taste... We started reading each other blogs in the fall of 2005, I think. I think it was through The Appalachianists (or A.I. as he was known then). Then along came Sarah Palin's Florida sister (who made cute little Sarah look like a member of the ACLU) and Ed and the rest is history.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-738343132695312222009-12-21T08:26:19.400-05:002009-12-21T08:26:19.400-05:00Karen, thanks!

With the General, you should have two trains and a race (along with burning trestles). Ever see the silent movie? I have friends that have massive layouts--one using Tonopah, NV (in its hayday) as his map for his train set--I just don't have that kind of time or interest.sagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499891950639742366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-70043060951420505052009-12-21T07:38:31.849-05:002009-12-21T07:38:31.849-05:00I miss the train around the tree.

I tried to find it at my Mom's house a few years back for my kids, but it seems to have disappeared.<br /><br /><i>Sigh</i><br /><br />BTW, I'm with you on the frequency of more potent spirits, though mine of choice is the vodka & tonic.

Since fifth year anniversaries are about wood and silver, I guess the real Christmas tree is appropriate for your train track. I like your open car for hobo's tradition; my little grandma lived less than 100 yards from the main railroad line through town, and she was always feeding hobo's. Later, after she and grandpa had died we found a large rock that was always in the yard marked on the underside ... guess they had her number.<br />thanks gainEutychus2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17857223796021466755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-76349237175770981642009-12-21T03:44:48.694-05:002009-12-21T03:44:48.694-05:00Happy 5th anniversary, Sage!
