Procrastinated about putting up a tree. The tree belonged to my Mom & I couldn’t handle the memory of her tree— six months of losing her.
Went shopping for a light bulb & saw a tree 60% off & only one box left.
Unsure if we use it again or not, but it does look lovely. What a beautiful bargain❤️.

I met Melissa Hortman in October of 2024. She was smart and kind. I heard about her murder in a LA hotel room and it dropped me to my knees. So I went to Minnesota and talked to her kids, parents, and friends. This is not true crime, this is Melissa in real life. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
