One BIG TREE!

This is the maple tree in my yard; it overhangs Moos Road. I have NEVER in this area seen any tree that matches up to the size of this monster- it is at least 100 years old!

About 18 years ago, about 1/3 of this tree, in the form of a huge branch that hung over the house, FELL one night, and struck our roof... over $3000 of damage was done, and one branch bounced off of the roof, and scraped down the side of the house, ALMOST plunging through the living room window, where my youngest, baby brother Jimmy was sleeping!

If the trajectory of the falling branch had been just slightly different, Jimmy would have been CRUSHED!

But, now he is a healthy 41 year old...

but, the tree is ....

waiting for his next visit....


Happy Easter!

If you want to hear some good music, come to the United Methodist Church of Onalaska tomorrow, Easter Sunday, and hear the choir, directed by the amazing Cory Groves!

Watch for a white haired old man in the tenor section-but, if he asks you to sleep in his living room, you'd better think twice!
