LOL! It is part of the sacrifice of being a parent.

When I was a teen. we had one (only one) plum tree, a short one. It was so great when it became covered in flowers! Then it had nice red plums. Sadly, the tree was old and died sometime when I was already an adult. i still miss it but I think if somehow there is a soul for the trees, that one is happy somewhere, because he gave a lot of joy and had a long and prosper life  :)

When I was a kid, my parents had several Apple trees, one cherry and one plum tree. The plum tree I didn't like so much, because there were masses of wasps. I got stung a lot. Once between my toes. That hurt. But I always liked the plums.
On the apples there are wasps, too, but with the plums I think they exaggerate.

There was one apple tree I liked the most. It had very low thick branches, so several children could climb on it without much effort at the same time. And you could put a hammock between the trees.

At first my parents wanted to build a garage for the car and our tools. The lowest branch was in the way. So our beloved tree lost an arm. A few years later it became sick and we had to remove it completely.

Another apple tree was already hollow inside, when we moved there, but it had the best apples and there were birds breeding inside every year. There were two holes in the trunk, the little birds were safe from cats in there. And you could see their mouths open when you looked inside.
This tree almost killed my mother when it fell down suddenly.

Now they have only one apple tree left.

And yes, I can pretend not to be afraid sometimes. If you don't look at me for too long. I only scream when spiders surprise me. As a kid I learnt not to show any fear as the only girl among boys, lol. I didn't want them to put spiders into my bed or in my schoolbag or something. So I pretended to be cool.

Dina:
I am terrified of spiders, so you are my heroine. But I understand the rest, you are amazing  :)
I grew up in an apartment, where I still live, but I spent all my teen and my first adult years in the house I mentioned. It only has a small garden, but it has two vines, a plum tree and a lemon tree. Also some shrubs and flowers. Not much, but for me it was heaven.

I just realized that what they were probably referring to is that I paid off my student loans as of Friday.

Dina:
That was it, but I thought you wouldn't want to talk about that here. I've read it in your FB  :)
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
