60+ year old thread.

Bet the house smells good

 

It's actually the top 12+ feet of a 20 foot tall field tree. Smells awesome!

 

Holy Crap… You bring in the cherry picker to decorate that??

 

He probably has a little elfin guy climb it.

 

8' ladder, some ingenuity...and a mop with an extendable handle.

 

This is our rig, year 5, it’s hard keeping it fresh. Kinda embarrassing, we live in Michigan, there’s 2 Christmas farms within a few miles from our house.

 

We used to cruise Gratiot in the late 70s and early 80s. Not so much a thing anymore. But had a lot of fun in my youth. Gratiot auto supply and what was her name? Linda Vaughn or something like that. Autorama at cobo hall. The naias was cool before all the car companies got woke. Motorcycle shows where the same, now there gone too.

 

Cost way to much for trees now.
This tree has paid for itself. No needles. If I want it to smell like pine I spray tree scent.lol

 

I wanna go to the Lafayette Coney Island, my dad took me there as a kid. Bleacher seats at Tiger Stadium were $1.00, we would take the Grand River bus to Trumble and walk the rest of way.

 

OK, all very beautiful! I am compelled to jump in. Last year for this "Beach Tree" - almost all the 'pre-lit" strings have died, and I had one string of white left to pitch in. Time for a modern, LED replacement!

 

Nice

 

That's funny. Lafayette Coney Island is making a big run on my FB feeds, because of the Vernor's thread it gets mentioned on! Vernor's and a coney - real Michigan! I was too young to know what money was when I went to Brigg's Stadium, but I thought Dad and Uncle Harry were rich when they took me to Tigers Stadium. Horton, Cash, Kaline, and that crowd!

 

Man I feel home sick, Vernors and vanilla ice cream. We would go to every hat day, bat day, ball day. I loved growing up in Detroit.

 

A Boston float - every sick kids wish!

 

I traded Detroit for this, I think I made the right move.

 

Good choice. And you can still get Vernor's at the store! Not the same, but still, nothing like it.

 

LOL, I went to high school with Mark Kaline and Mark Howe.

 

Laythrup Village? Help me, drawing a blank.

 

We have two trees. They are a little under two feet tall and live in a box in the basement most of the year. Right now they share a small table with some pine cones and Christmas paraphernalia.
