Oh my. So sorry! Wish I'd known you 40 yrs ago. My husband was a landscaper. He would have told you not to do it. On a slightly different note... your humor in all of this is absolutely hilarious! I can't wait to hear the final chapter! Love the part about the moat!!!!

I'm so glad I saved this email to read when I had time, Karen! What an [expensive] adventure to say the least!! We had a sycamore tree in our front yard but eventually had it removed. Obviously that was a good move... Goodness. Love your writing style and sharing your latest adventure. Thanks for your sense of humor in this day 'n age!!! XOXOX

Note to self: No more sycamore unless you want to be poor. Glad you’ve kept your sense of humor.

You always crack me up! We just had to remove a bunch of trees and shrubs around our house (anything w/in 10 feet) due to fire insurance rules, which some say will soon be California law. I'm trying to see the silver lining in that some of the not-so big looking shrubs and BIG roots that were starting to crack up the driveway! So glad we nipped that in the "bud" so-to-speak. Hoping we're also avoiding future plumbing. Thanks for adding to my silver lining. We're overdue for lunch or whatever!

I would like to be the body in the hole in your next novel. Then weird cousin who lived in a retirement community in Carmel. By the way, we just had our first crime wave here in 55 years. Someone stabbed his mother ,. She survived he was arrested.
