Hi Melissa,
I am back on track too. I cannot report a good holiday as we received a phone call on NYE that a windstorm took out the big live oak (100 years old) in front of DP's house in Berkeley and in losing the tree, we also lost part of the courtyard wall, a few fountains and a bit of the roof.
So, we spent NYE afternoon flying down to California to assess the damage, going through the four stages of grief and realizing that having five houses is alot of houses to keep track of, especially if they are in four different locations.
Hopefully, we can get things squared away and insurance will give us replacement cost on the wall and roof. The tree will be another $7500 to replace if we go with the a small tree.
Other than that, everything here is just peachy keen.
