I feel like my kids should still be teenagers(because I’m forever 35 in my head) but instead they are in their 30’s and my grandchildren are in their teens!! Time stands still and goes warp speed somehow simultaneously! I can’t believe you’ve already been in this house 4 years! My daughter’s family moved to Franklin- maybe someday I’ll bump into you!❤️

My kids are in their 30’s and I still grieve that they don’t need me the same way. We made mistakes but did a good job–they are successful adults. I love trees and still have fond memories of the trees and swings at my grandparents house.

Thank you for a beautiful post and all it evokes for me!

So sorry about your tree. A huge oak tree in our yard died last winter. We used our COVID money to have it taken down, as it was close enough to our house to be dangerous. Fortunately, I had a friend who knew of a family lumberyard that turned fallen trees into furniture. We hired them, donated most of the wood and have a slab from our tree curing to become a live edged desk. I am glad you got a slab too.
All the best,
The Other Marian

There was a gigantic ash tree in the backyard that I fell in love with. Sitting on the back porch with a cup of coffee was like being in a tree house. I fell in love, got married, had a baby, changed jobs and the tree stood. And then we found out it had emerald ash borers. And the tree had to come down because it was a danger to our house and to us. And then we found out the tree had Italian honey bees…but they were too high up to move and relocate. Taking the tree down nearly broke my heart. There is a new tree growing where the old one stood…a cataulpa…straight up out of the middle of the remaining stump. It’s been almost 8 years since the old one was removed…but I miss my big beautiful ash tree.
