trishkit'Tis the season for Santa Claus parades. As usual, the Marina has participated. Last weekend was our local parade. This year the young guys who work for us took charge. We did the usual, which is decorating a boat, loading it with girls and towing it behind a Marina truck. Always a big hit. The best part? The boat was red. The Marina trucks are either white or grey. Jonnie has a lovely red Dodge. He actually had our logo put on his own truck so that we could tow the boat behind a matching truck. I just think that is adorable.
It is quite festive around the Marina these days. This year marks our 38th year of selling Christmas trees. Since it is early in the season, everyone is very picky. They need to examine each tree before they settle on the perfect one. On Saturday I even had a lady who insisted on smelling each tree in order to select the most fragrant. It is, quite simply, loads of fun for all involved. I'm not a big Xmas person, but I do love dealing with tree customers.
I also talk to the trees, does that make me wierd?
