This is all that’s left.
The girls and I have some ideas for what we’re going to do with these slices of the tree.
But I’m open to suggestions…. got any?
(It’s easy to see just how rotted the tree was in the biggest pieces. Wow.)

I am the average 40-something woman, trying to juggle life as a wife and mother, working outside the home, and trying to keep it all in balance. It's not easy - some days are better than others. But, that's what it's all about right? I have a really AWFUL short-term memory so my family and friends lovingly call me "Dory", whom you might remember as that cute but forgetful little blue fish in "Finding Nemo". Feel free to pop over to the *About* page for more tidbits!

Jenon 15 Sep 2009 at 7:34 am 2All I can think of is bar stools. LOL. I am so NOT creative!
Doryon 15 Sep 2009 at 7:35 am 3They are about 2 to 3 inches thick. And I will definitely seal them, once they dry out.
Doryon 15 Sep 2009 at 7:36 am 4Jen! lol…. they’d be….. ummm…. hard bar stools!
Vonnieon 15 Sep 2009 at 9:40 am 5I have seen them made into clocks. A suggestion for the girls. Someone in our 4-H group painted a tic tac toe grid, sealed them and used rocks fo 2 different colors to play. Have fun with whatever you do with them!
Beccaon 15 Sep 2009 at 10:41 am 6How about doing some sort of artistic painting on them? Let the imagination run wild..fairies, gnomes, who knows the random lightening bolt?
Stacyon 15 Sep 2009 at 10:58 am 7Well there are five slices and five of you. I see each of you designing your own, sealing them and placeing them like stepping stones in a garden area.
Shannonon 15 Sep 2009 at 12:33 pm 8I’m thinking it would make a cute side table top or you could attach a lazy susan to the bottom of one and use it on you table. I also like the stepping stone idea!
Katon 15 Sep 2009 at 6:17 pm 9Here’s another for the stepping stone idea!
Stacyon 17 Sep 2009 at 6:34 am 10Be sure to tell us what you finally decide to do with them.
Doryon 17 Sep 2009 at 10:00 am 11Right now they are still sitting on the front porch – exactly as they appear in this picture. They have to dry out before we can do anything so this seemed as good a place as any. lol
Yes, you might be a redneck if ….
