Last weekend, we bought a new battery for daughter Christine's pick-up, then Al borrowed the truck to borrow back the Christmas Ship display we gave away after last season's end. Remember, we had planned to be 'up North' by now...

| The star is taking shape |

| Hoist it up, and lash it to the mast! |
We got cooled off, good and plenty, since the stove went out just after Al said 'We have to pump more fuel for the stove.' The star was enough work for today, so we layered up and rode MAX downtown for the tree lighting ceremony. The line at Starbucks was unbelievable, so we found the best viewing spot we could. All the 'seats' were taken even 45 minutes before it was due to begin.

| Pioneer Courthouse, a little later |

| The sponsors for the evening |
 |
| Pink Martini, Pacific Youth Chorus, Oregon Symphony, KGW, KINK, Mayor Sam Adams, and SANTA made appearances. |
Ta Da! We were all told to go to www.bemerrydowntown.org to find more events at Pioneer Square and downtown this holiday season. I just checked! Christmas Ships are mentioned on Page 5!
