Tree....

Thirty one years ago we planted a Red Oak tree in the back yard.  It grew into a beautiful Oak tree that provided us with much shade.  On one of the branches we put a swing for our grandchildren, Pap spent many hours pushing Sammie, Allie and James as they squealed with delight.  Today we had the tree cut down because it contacted a root disease that may have been caused by the drought here in Texas.  This tree took thirty one years to grow over our house top but only two hours to be totally removed.  It is a sad day!
