Firefighters are the BEST.

A couple weeks ago, our local firefighters came to the neighborhood to wish Teddy good luck with his upcoming surgery. The brought him a hat, a toy firetruck, and a t-shirt.

My Neighbors

These are my sweet neighbors. Please keep them in your prayers… Their youngest son, Teddy, is having brain surgery this week (Wednesday) to determine if a tumor discovered in his brain is cancerous or not.

Brenda Miles - I was wearing heals one day (shocker) and I stepped on one of those poinky balls, twisted my ankle and landed on my rump, which luckily softened the fall. Unfortunately, it did nothing for my dignity. I’m with Dave.

DaveM - This tree is only worth the ground and water it takes a 3 months out of the year.

Debbie - I know I am a little late for a ‘save the tree party’ but I love the look of this tree. way better than ugly bare branches in winter.

The Larson’s - I love the trees like the one you’re describing (liquidambars). They get SO gorgeous in the fall, it’s got to be worth those “poinky ball” inconveniences now and then, right? Course, it’s easy for us to say — we don’t have one in our yard!
