To Dana and Robert,
I don't have a lot of time to chat, because I'm very busy repairing the things which you guys keep breaking. I just finished repairing the front window, which you guys have jammed up twice in just 4 months. In contrast, Brad and Laura jammed up the window only once in 9 years. Also, today I repaired the Garden Gate at the front of the house, at the north-east corner of the house. Someone with massive strength ripped the gate, its hinges, and the beam the hinges are attached to, away from the wooden fence, the very fence which the Flowering Thorn Vines are pulling down. Robert, is there anything you would like to tell me?
By the way, I'm not quite through working on the gate yet, so I would appreciate it if you would not use the gate tomorrow. I want to do some more work on the gate, to try to make it Robert-proof. I should be done with it by tomorrow afternoon.
Regarding the Flowering Thorn Vine, I will do the rest of the pruning myself. It was very nice of Robert to help with the pruning the other day, when I asked him to, and I appreciate it. But for the rest of the work, I prefer to do it myself. My approach is to work carefully, to avoid possible damage to the neighbors' wooden fence.
I did some more pruning of the Flowering Thorn Vines today, and plan to do some more tomorrow.
Steve
