Our neighbor of 19 yrs. is trying to sue us. He built the fence and retaining wall 19 yrs. ago. It is falling down (duh, after 19 yrs.). We share the fence. He has sent us a Certified Letter stating that ‘our dirt is trespassing onto his property’. That he’s giving us ashort period of time to fix the problem, then he will proceed to sue us for the cost of replacement, and all legal fees. Now, we have tried to talk to him about sharing the cost of replacing the’fence’ portion, but not the retaining wall as we have to our upstairs neighbor. See he doesn’t have anyone on his downhill side- he’s on the corner lot. But he would not negotiate. In fact, he wants to move the property line 5-10 inches into our yard!!! How chicken-shit is that? That’s his new nick name- CHICKEN SHIT. Oh, and he’s 70 yrs old or older. I’m going to download his picture here someday when I learn how to do that. Where’s Judge Judy when you need her?

Anyways, can’t decide what to have for dinner……Chinese?

Some Inner Thoughts

August 1, 2008 at 9:31 pm (Personal) (, , , , , )

I am beginning a new chapter in my life. It may even be a new book. Feeling uninspired at this point- many thoughts run randomly through my head simultaneously. Like ideas in a blender, they swirl around my mind so quickly, I cannot sort them, organize them or express them. They are my constant companions- the commitee. Rarely do they recess but when they do, I can hear the voice of God.  ‘I AM TEACHING YOU TO DEPOND UPON ME’ He said three times after I awoke and sat straight up in bed. That was eight years ago and I must continually remind myself that He is in control. Each new day brings challenges that I alone cannot meet. Letting go brings me peace. Crucifying my flesh is a process. Self-reliance failed.
