A "Tree-mendous" event

So early tomorrow morning we head to the airport -- to fly to NYC -- to be on the Dr. Oz show. Wow.

The country bumpkins go to the city.

A last minute "shout out" via email reminded us "be sure to bring the tree!" Say what? Since when are people allowed to carry on a 3 1/2 foot, 7 inch diameter tree on an airplane?

Shot a photo of our youngest, Dominic, holding the tree. It's amazing to realize that it was IN Jack - all the way back to his spinal column. It's a complete miracle that he's alive.

I thought of putting it in a bag that usually holds a fold-up chair. So that's how the tree will head to NY for the Dr. Oz show.

I'll let y'all know how we fare in the city. Hope it's not a re-creation of "The Out-of-Towners" experience. lol

Dominic will care for the critters and hold down the fort while we're gone.
