I'm guessing it has to do with the danger factor and the insurance costs. Of course, there were between 4-6 guys at my house for 8 hours. That's gonna cost money, too. It is hard to see a big, beautiful tree have to come down.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-65229789761861898972016-05-09T12:34:53.223-04:002016-05-09T12:34:53.223-04:00It is so sad when a beautiful, old tree has to be ...It is so sad when a beautiful, old tree has to be cut down. We have many, many 100+ year old trees on our property, and I will be devastated when some of them have to come down. The two at the end of the drive had been dead for a while. There wasn't anything pretty about them anymore, so I was glad to see them go. I was more afraid of them falling on someone driving by.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1329563580023354380.post-33788158929766498212016-05-09T12:33:12.141-04:002016-05-09T12:33:12.141-04:00The First Holy Communion was Saturday, and it was ...The First Holy Communion was Saturday, and it was wonderful.

Yay for you! I love Eli's six words roundup (although I definitely think I missed that money one...)<br />Great that the trees were not as costly as they could've been and that the family was decent about dinner. I'm always happy when mine are good with whatever happens. Like leftover night - because with karate and swimming that's like 4 times a week anymore! <br />Zilla's First Holy Communion is this coming weekend and I really can't believe it.
