MORE CHRISTMAS TREES

We got another load of Christmas trees on December 6, Doug said this was out last load, he wasn't able to get anymore. He thinks we will all be sold out by December 20th.  We sold 290 trees, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. We didn't have a very good selection of trees left.   We had more customers walk out than buy.  Then, on Tuesday, December 12, we got 72  Nordmanns. I had a list of folks to call "just in case" we got more trees. They went like hotcakes!

Our customers were still very picky....even though we told them there was a shortage of Christmas trees and we wouldn't be getting anymore trees.  One last weekend! By  Saturday, December 16, we only had 118 trees left to sell. Santa Anna winds back Sunday.....we thought we were going to blow away!! 78 MPH winds!  This was the last weekend for our boys, we would work by ourselves after Sunday. We started getting ready to close and get things packed up for the trailer.
Darrell made reservations for Carefree Village RV Resort in Yuma  for January, February, March.
On Wednesday morning we had 12 trees standing in the tent, Doug's crew would be here sometime  today to take the tent down, they had already taken the second tent down.  Darrell sold three more trees before they took the tent down!
I left at 8:00 to go shopping, I had a lovely time, went to MacDonald's and had a leisurely cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich.

When I got home the tent was down!

We had never been on the lot without a tent set up.....it was very strange.

 We sold $1,074 trees, Darrell made $335.00 in tips plus one $25 gift card, not too shabby, we were happy!

Santa Anna predicted for tomorrow, hoping we can leave for Yuma. 

We were lucky! No Santa Annas today. We got to Carefree Village at 5:30, looking forward to such much needed rest!
