Last time was bad enough and none of those things were permanent! <br /><br />Glad you're settling down at the lake and the kids are out of college.

My friend calls those people "Aliens from the other planet". I'm sorry that your thoughtless tenants moved many plants without permission and gave you shock.<br />I do hope everything will turn out good very soon.<br />Thank you for visiting. I'm glad to follow you.<br />Have a wonderful weekend!snowwhitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04224433823476591538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-10179639784692636132011-06-17T09:04:48.571-05:002011-06-17T09:04:48.571-05:00Oh..so when can we read more about the moths in ur...Oh..so when can we read more about the moths in ur orchard?

I am afraid my English is not good enough to understand what you write or what you link completely, but I'm looking forward to getting to know your way of life.<br /><br />You seem to be in trouble now. It must be a pet peeve. I hope things will turn out OK.<br />cosmoscosmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18411297580664818094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-19589967211348943952011-06-15T13:12:43.256-05:002011-06-15T13:12:43.256-05:00Dear Walk2Write,
congratulation to the fine exams...Dear Walk2Write, <br />congratulation to the fine exams both your children made! You can be proud! <br />Your tenants must have given you a shock and bad feelings. To cut down trees without your permission is awful! But now: Try not to think of it - look at your beautiful lake, count your blessings, don't let something spoil your beautiful surroundings now. Enjoy that - "here and now"!

Tina, you and ...Thanks for the congrats, everyone!<br /><br />Tina, you and Mr. Fix-It need to take some time to relax before that next round of fortune seeking. You both deserve a break.<br /><br />TB, I sure hope it doesn't come down to legal wrangling. We haven't even met these people yet, so it's difficult to say what we're up against. I hope your friend worked things out amicably.<br /><br />CissB, I don't think the tenants are bad, just extremely aggressive. They've also taken it upon themselves to paint the entire house inside. <br /><br />Julie, we were just hoping for someone to take care of things for us, not completely transform the place. Very strange indeed! We're all doing fine here. Gardening in pots now for the most part. This place is just naturally beautiful, and I don't want to change it.<br /><br />Thanks, Mr. S!<br /><br />Claude, I guess anyone who has access to a backhoe with a tree spade. Those trees were too big to dig up by hand.<br /><br />Thank you, Sapphire! It's been very busy for me lately, but I'm glad to be blogging again. Yes, the view and the peace and quiet here are wonderful. <br /><br />Rose, I think the main problem is a lack of communication. The property manager seems to be courting these people as potential buyers. He's seeing dollar signs in the future and forgetting that we're paying him to protect our interests. He acted all surprised by the whole thing, but I'm not so sure that he was. I hope they do buy the house. It's not going to seem like home anymore. Yes, we are very proud of the kids. They both worked full-time while going to school and paid for it themselves.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999389688482604348.post-84521504445868108862011-06-14T07:19:36.757-05:002011-06-14T07:19:36.757-05:00Glad to have you back, W2W!

But then I'm always surprised by the nerve of some people. <br /><br />Congratulations to your Son and Daughter!
