The
Christmas tree is also a Travel Tree. It is on the steering while of their
RV. Wherever the two RV Gypsies travel, they try to buy something that
hangs and says where they are. Already there are too many to put on this
tree, and the two RV Gypsies will be getting a bigger tree. |

Every year, Lee Duquette, (known as Grampy) gets a T-shirt with a photo of his grandchildren. This year's star is Lee's great-grandson, Anthony Brian. Too bad that somebody could not spell this year. |
