Milestones
Yesterday afternoon we planted a tree in our yard. Let me back up and say we were serving many needs to plant this tree. Due to our neighbors complaints "Big Boy" was cut down his trunk was over 6 feet across from one side to the other. In other words his waist was bigger than mine!! He was a nice tree when we moved here 19 years ago But nothing like the day they cut his life short. We just celebrated our 40th anniversary and our great grand daugter was just born. So a new tree was in order. I could not stand to look out to where "Big Boy" had stood Bill wanted to go for it and have a tree planted that had substance Maple or Oak . But they are very slow growers. After much debate we settled on a tree I chose Id like to share with you the reason it was chosen. It is a Globe Willow. One . I love Willow Tree trees. I am so fond of the the Willow tree Angel figures that mark the milestones in our lives. Willow trees are fast growers I am Thinking that it should be a tree in our lifetime. Bill and I chose one with full branches that will quicky develop into the globe shape. So here is to our family Bill Karen Kevin Greg their wives Susan and Cindy our granchildren Stephanie Robert Kaylee and our greatgrand Madison. Always room for more and more branches. May our family always be strong and well rounded Yet flexible and able to bend gracefully when the storms come . Love Karen
