Queen of Trees

Until pretty recently, Kristie had never actually been to D-A¹. She finally came to camp on the Friday of summer camp when the unexpected left us with more kids than seats. She arrived about 4:00 on Friday and immediately decided she loved D-A.

One thing she didn't necessarily love was Migisi's Trees. The Lodge has a cluster of pine trees they plan to raise and someday sell or donate. The trees, according to Kristie² , were only going to be suitable for live-action versions of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Given the shortage of Linuses³ in our lodge, she decided to take matters into her own hands⁴.

This week her prayers were answered when Sam⁵ wrote to tell her that Ranger Dave⁶ had said he'd be happy to have her work on the trees. Sam offered to help and declared her "Queen of Trees".

Kristie celebrated by ordering a razor sharp machete and taunting Steve about shinguards.

1. Shocking, I know.
2. Who has actually worked on a Christmas Tree farm.
3. It was, of course, his blanket that saved the original tree.
4. By telling me I needed to write emails.
5. Who until recently had been in trouble for not writing her often enough.
6. One of Kristie's big disappointments in her visit to D-A was that Ranger Dave wasn't there and didn't make a speech.
