Annabelle can't quite remember the exact location of the lot where fire wood and christmas trees are sold, she remembers visiting it during years past but at the moment it eludes her, so she drives around until she finds the signs on the side of the road that direct her.
When they pull up there are three or four cars in the lot, in front of the entrance to Kingman Logging. the makeshift lot is decorated with thick wreaths and boughs of holly, red ribbons and handmade reindeer lawn decorations made from discarded wood.
"I swear I've seen this place in a hallmark movie once" Ysee says, clapping her hands with excitement.
"I could totally see the main couple walking through picking out the perfect tree" Margaret agrees with Ysee.
The girls walk through the gate, past the big sign with red cursive that says "Kingman Trees"
The group look around, examining the different types of trees, douglas firs, blue spruces, balsam firs and silver tips. The scent of freshly cut trees and wood fills Annabelle with a sense of nostalgia and warmth.
"Hi, Can I help you with something?" A deep voice asks, snapping the blonde out of her nostalgic trance.
Annabelle finds a tall, dark skinned man in a thick brown flannel jacket and worker gloves.
"Oh yes actually, I'm looking to purchase some firewood" Annabelle tells him.
"Right this way" he says leading her further down the lot to the pre bundle stacks of wood.
Somehow the other girls who had wandered off to look at other things found their way back right in time.
"How many stacks would you like?" The man asks.
"I think three should be good for now"
The man nods and gathers the three bundles. He leads them over to the small trailer to ring up the total.
"Wait! Can we also get one of these reindeer, it would be so cute out front!" Daniella says cheerfully as she looks between Annabelle and Charles, a slight pink on her cheeks, and sparkle in her eye.
"Up to you" Annabelle shrugs.
Daniella picks her favourite one and scurries after them to pay. Once the total is rung up, Annabelle pays.
