Finally we find trees for sale at Agway, a hardware store on Torrington's rather ugly and unromantic suburb.My wife and her mother walk slowly and purposefully, rejecting one tree after another that to my eyes look, if not perfect, at least similar to the one they eventually select.
But the chosen tree has an important characteristic:a double, rather than a single, top.My wife and her younger brother recalled that both of them once made angels in kindergarten out of toilet-paper rolls, shiny paper and wool, both of which my wife and her brother take pride in.My wile tries arguing that her angel was the lovelier one over the other, but is quickly teased.
