Fifty-odd years ago, my wife and I celebrated our first year of marriage, and my mother-in-law earned her first of many gold stars. We were in Texas where the piney woods make for puny X-mas trees, and we were broke.
I was astounded when a tree wrapped in burlap arrived via U.S. Postal Service by my Mother-In-Law all the way from Montana. Although it made my wife a bit homesick each year, this became an annual gift to us as we finished our stint in Dallas, and moved on to Boston, and then Buffalo.
