Mile: 115,045 It was an action packed couple days! Action Jackson is out of school so he got to spend some time with Papa and Uncle Kyle overseeing our job site. He was pretty tuckered out but still insistent that we spread some Christmas Cheer…
Mile: 114,982 We had a great time at the Festival of Lights! They had all kinds of different lights setup and all kinds of themes. Thankfully the weather cooperated and we were able to take our time to make it through at our own pace.…

Action Jackson loves our annual tradition of cutting down a Christmas tree and this year was no different. First, we had to help string the lights on the trees at our house. Team work makes the dream work!
Then it was off to Angevine Farm up in Warren. It was a little foggy out but that did not deter us from our mission of picking the perfect tree.
Jackson quickly went to the Frazier fir area and we walked between the rows and rows of trees before Heather came upon the perfect tree… that someone else was scouting. Luckily, they moved on to another one and there it was …. A beaut! Or as Jackson says “boootfiul”.
This year Jackson was the primary sawyer and did a bang up job. Before you know it not only will he be cutting down the tree but dragging it as well without my help. We are so lucky to be able to cherish these days before he gets older and try to never take a day for granted.
Of course we had to fuel up with some hot chocolate and molasses’s cookies.
Please like and share so everyone can follow along on our adventures in this old, beat-up pickup truck that puts smiles on our faces and others as we meander from adventure to adventure!
Mile: 114, 935 We try to teach Jackson how fortunate we are and whenever possible we try to give back. In its tenth year the local Odd Fellows held their annual toy drive and we were lucky enough to be able to help them out!…
Mile: 114,879 Action Jackson and his buddy Alejandra had their Christmas Concert! It was great to see everyone singing. Maybe next time Jackson will even smile. Hahahaa! The cookies were great and the hot chocolate quenched our thirst! Almost time for Christmas break and then…

Mile: 114,906 I got to watch Jackson and his buddy Alejandra as there was a mom’s night out fundraiser thing going on. We went to our favorite spot, Brickhouse. And of course the item of the night was PASTA! After we filled our bellies they…
Mile: 110,820 When I first bought this beat up, old pickup truck my goal was simple … get the family in the truck, unplug from reality and drive. As time has gone on it has turned into something much, much more. Yesterday was the Odd…

Our 1,500 lights were added to Ole Red for a total of 7,500 lights this year.
It was now time to add our tree. We were able to locate and find some old style ceramic bulbs like we used to have as children.
It was then off to Scott’s Nursery and Landscaping in New Milford and we found the perfect tree. They have all kinds of roping, trees, cemetery boxes and more stuff than you can imagine. I took some pictures so you can see and support local!
Our master fabricator who puts the Chris in Christmas, Uncle Chris helped ensure that the tree will stay in place even traveling down the highway. After a quick test run it was time to go on the Town and that we did!
I promise you will see us OR hear us from a 1/2 mile away. Be sure to come up to the truck when we are going through the shopping centers for some candy canes or if we are at a light, pull up to the truck, put your window down and get ready for a barrage of candy canes to be thrown in your car!
STAY TUNED as our gift card giveaways will be starting soon.
Give us a like, follow and share so we can keep spreading our adventures far and wide!
Mile: 110,687 It’s that time of year. Thanks to Uncle Chris, the king of Christmas light stringing to get Ole Red fully covered in lights. This year we are adding 1,500 lights for a total of 7,500 lights. We got 600 of them on so…
