Our tree limb went through our roof last year just about this time of the year, $28,000 damage. This year we have lots of heat and high humidity like you guys. We are in the process of getting 3 trees cut down, before we have a repeat of last year. Try to enjoy the summer if possible.

Tom was just saying this morning, as we waited around for a plumber to call us back, that he hated not being in control of his own time. Now we have to drive back to Rock Hill because our neighbor there called to say a limb from our oak tree fell on her azaleas and we have to go remove it!! I'm ready for another vacation - in the snow.
