WELL......we are having a tree taken down....an elm tree that has outlived its time....a silver oak topped and trimmed....and our crabapple tree trimmed.
Sunday when my mother was attending services, she was cornered by my sister in law and her daughter in law (married to my nephew)....who said they wanted the wood from the tree to burn this winter. My mother just said....uh okay.
I of course was not so happy when I heard this development. In the first place, they are two of the laziest, ungrateful people I have ever known in my life....and I can't imagine they would move the wood in a timely manner.
The tree man, when I told him, said that if we keep the wood, he would just leave the trunk in the yard. He doesn't cut it up.
So.....this morning I told my brother that the tree man would be taking the wood and that said ingrates would not be getting it. He said okay.....but I have a feeling we have not heard the end of this.
