Finally got Tree up...

                  My Brother showed up earlier today with this tree... (We added purple lights)

Basically a "Charlie Brown tree... salvaged bits from old decorations (garland in many short pieces... and salvaged whatever tinsel we could... used a bit of old red crepe-paper ... and my Friend bought me two strands of new red garland...

                                    here is the one we dismembered for decorations...
                              
                                    well it is a tree... (did not think was getting one this year....)
