Check out my Christmas Tree

Isn't this tree cool. My wife made it for me. It has 20 of the hallmark trucks on it. The truck is just like the one in my driveway waiting to be restored. She is the best.

Talking

My wife is the best. Back in 1998 she told me I had been waiting long enough for a truck. Our kids were getting older and that after 20 years of drooling it was time for me to go out and buy the truck I wanted. She ordered me to go out and find a truck. Then for our 25th wedding anniversary she went out and bought me a set of 15 x 8 Crager SS. I never told her to do it, she just paid attention when I was talking to other guys and she knew it was what I wanted. I want to put this the right way. I not trying to impress anybody, but we live in a very nice house. I don't know of anyone who lives in a house like ours that is allowed to bring an old truck home and keep it in the driveway. She even lets me dismantle and paint in the garage that is attached to the house. She is truly unbelieveable and one of a kind.
