Our Deadly Catch

Love this show
This fishing boat was on the show. So what, you ask?
Well, we went searching for a Christmas tree on Saturday. I had read about a Christmas tree farm down in Alpine where you can cut your own down. This is how we always did it growing up in the east/mid-west, so I begged Buz to go down with me. So we did. Basically, all the trees looked like this.
So, we headed home and stopped by the trusty corner lot. Now, the lot on 9000 S and State is no shabby lot. We got a tree there two years ago and really liked it. We started looking around, and got a feel for what they had to offer us. We finally found what we thought would fit best in our house. We went and got one of the guys to take it down for us, and we got to talking. Back to the first picture, turns out the guy who owns this tree lot also owns The Lucky Lady, which was on the first season of the Deadliest Catch! Apparently you have to be burley to fish and to sell Christmas trees! That's what the guy told us.
Here's the best part...they brought king crab legs and Alaskan halibut with them and are selling them at the lot too! We were going to pick some up last night but due to the weather we bailed. Hopefully Buz will stop by on his way home from work. YUM!

So sad the tree thing in Alpine didn't work out. We'll probably get our tree from that lot too. We should have a seafood party. Love how you and Lily are almost wearing the same coat.

This is Jenn. I accidently signed in with Todd's acount, but he does want to know why we got uninvited to the tree chopping. He was really excited about it :).
