Ever wonder where your Christmas tree came from?

My Dad has been selling Christmas Trees for over 35 years. He buys them from the growers and then sells the trees in our area and in Toronto and Florida.

From Stargate to Atlantis

I finally got to see the Stargate Season 8 special.

Random thoughts:

Amanda Tapping has a lovely giggle.

Lots of shots of dear, sweet Jonas, but no scenes where he actually spoke. At least we got to see him.

Saw the dread policeman Pete for the first time. I haven't seen any of his episodes, but dare I say that I kinda like him from the little I saw?

RDA just didn't seem too be interested in anything but riding in the helicopter.

Tori Higginson is adorable in her non-Weir mode. Very smiley and perky.

Rainbow has quite the potty mouth. Is officially the cutest little soldier ever.

David Hewlett is hilarious. What a nutbar.
