With saw in hand, Verdine led the expedition until we found "the one".
Then the cutting began. Verdine & Kim had the honor of cutting it, carrying it,

almost all the way to the car...
Russ did finally show up with a cart.
They also had the pleasure to transporting it to the house.
The tree is now decorated and stands proudly
in "our" little cottage by the river.
