Thank you Charlie Brown AND Garden welder, Laura Steiner....

My daughter,  'the welder,' couldn't resist the challenge.  If the City of Birmingham can have a fake tree,  so can I, but  mine won't cost $30,000.  'Mom' bargaining power is a good thing.  Of course she will get my top dollar, say, under $200?  I've asked for a 'Charlie Brown tree'.  She'll be on it starting Monday.   If all goes as expected, plan on driving down Washington Blvd. in Birmingham in December.  And.......feel free to enjoy.......................marge
