voyager Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Our across-the-street neighbor has been renovating for well over a year. They have essentially replaced the house...several times over. Today a landscaper has delivered 2 dozen 12ft tall Cypress trees for the back yard. It looks like the forest of Great Bernam has come again. I mean. The yard isn’t that big, maybe 25x25.

Sneakeater Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It’s when Bernam Wood starts moving up the hill that you have to worry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 It's OK--she's nowhere near Dunsinane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
voyager Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yesterday afternoon, a crew iof minions carried half these trees (which husband corrected me numbered closer to 30) down the hill to the front of their property. Now THAT was creepy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 If the trees are moving toward your neighbor's house, it sounds like it's more HIS problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

voyager Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Well, this made ME laugh. The other night I was trying to bring a situation to husband's mind. We had joined friends for an antique event in north-mid Massachusetts. All I could remember was that the name of the town was somewhat "off". I couldn't rattle his memory by describing the friends, the items he was looking for or the hotel or the name of the town. OK, forget about it. But I just pulled up a Google map of MA and, bingo! Athol. One of my favorite repeated lines from "Lion, Witch and Wardrobe". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I"m not sure how we got on the topic of durian the other evening at bedtime, but the boy informed me that while it smells like death it tastes delicious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I can honestly say that in 50 or so years we shared space on the planet, my mother and I never discussed durian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think I've ever discussed it with my mother either. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure she ever heard of the durian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve R. Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Just about the only food I passed on at a World Tong dim sum ages ago. Sivan was happy to eat my share. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The smoothie people usually ask if we know what we're getting into. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
