Thank God, he did not hit the stone wall or take down the telephone pole. I live next to the Duke Estate, where there are narrow roads and people make illegal u turns all the time. It is extremely dangerous because of the windy roads and leads to erosion.

Damaged Grass -
I'm living it now. I recently had a large pear tree branch fall, just grazing the house. So no real damage there, but I had to take the chain saw out and remove it so my wife and I could get out of the garage. Well the it took my tree guy a week and a half (due to rain) to get over to my house and remove the tree and the chopped debris that was positioned on the side of my house. See here: http://ff.im/3mN82
Well the debris sitting on my grass for a 8 days killed my grass. I then laid sod (which is very hard work for the weekend gardener). So 10 days later, right before the big dinner party we were having (which is why my wife wanted the grass to look extra good), the delivery truck bringing the food rights off the driveway and onto the sod. Ugh!!! What a pain in the neck!.

Dear Martha

To Tanya, post of June 19 @ 4:58 PM, I am 60 years of age and deary, it has nothing to do with how old you are to worry about grass. When I was 21 and had purchased my first "new" vehicle, a drunk driver, with NO drivers license and NO insurance hit my new car in the middle of the night. No one was hurt. He pushed my vehicle across my front yard into my neighbors hedge. He was released on his own recognizance (oh, by the way, he had been released from prison earlier that week) and was out driving the next day. It took my neighbor several months to repair his hedge. I didn't get my vehicle back from repairs for 8 weeks and at the expense of MY insurance company and myself. So sorry for all the inconsiderate people that you (and the rest of us) have to deal with Martha. Anyone who has pride in their property, no matter their age, shouldn't have to put up with stupid a..holes. Maureen

Tucked away on a short one way street in the Millstone area of Franklin Township, Somerset County you can find the most delicious ice cream. A gentleman there is living his dream creating small batches of homemade ice cream. The Millstone Valley Creamery offers a variety of different flavors however, our favorite is the Fresh Mint. My husband and I just love the flavor that the fresh herb lends. You simply have to try it. What's more is you can pick some up and eat it while strolling by the canal path or walking around my lovely, lovely neighborhood.

P.S So when we returned from nantucket, we found huge tire prints in our lawn in CT. Our daughter tells us it was the truck that was repaving the street across from us. They parked there in all that rain - so what do I do now? I just wonder how people can be so insensitive - making a neighbor's street look so nice, while totaling ripping up my lawn! Go figure, as they say.

While on Nantucket last week, a construction vehicle drove down a narrow lane with cars (one was our) parked on both sides. My husband had just gotten out of the car and was speaking to one of the 'Sconset gardeners who do a GREAT job at keeping the privet hedges pristine. BOOM! The driver went right on through and took off our rear view mirror! I am sure this happens all the time on the quaint Nantucket cobbled streets, but it is not so fun when you contemplate driving back to CT without a much needed mirror. The only car dealer in town is Ford but they were so nice and fashioned a temporary mirror and we are home safe and sound. We always have our Cavalier spaniel Clementine wave to Francesca and Sharkey when we drive past! Bonjour!

I found your article on making your own ice cream quite interesting. I knew a person could make their own ice cream but did not know how.After the first stage of making the ice cream I plan on putting different things like nuts,pineapple and more delicious ingredients. This is making me hungry.

Martha,As adult's, it is our responsibility to make certain that every member of the younger population has all the information that they can get, to make healthy, positive decision's in their lives. I have created a program or tv show that is designed to modify the way we feel and think about life and each other.To encourage people to be their best and do for other's.It's not what you think you are,but,"what you think, you are". We all have different belief's and different feature's. When it comes to being human, we are all the same.I know that you will be interested in my idea's.Hopefully, I will be able to type to you some day.

Yes, I have had an incident with a moving van
when some neighbors moved in across the street.
The moving van was from Chicago, and made deep
ruts in our yard. When it was brought to his
attention, he said he thought everybody in
Tennessee parked in their yard...which added
insult to injury. We do not park in our yard.
Anyway, I'm not picking on Chicago, it is just
a fact of what happened. The mover did pay for
repairing the yard, so all is well.

Thanks for your photos, I enjoy them.

Several years ago when I moved back to my home town two cars collided in front of my house (no damage to the lawn except for stray car oarts strewed about) what a noise. When I ran outside one of the passengers was staggering around the intersection. - quickly grabbed him and made him lay flat on the lawn(I had taken industrial first aid and was eager to take control of this thing)poor guy, it was pouring rain, I sent my son off for the golf umbrella and I'm laying there on my stumach doing C-spine when the ambulance shows up and the ambulance attendant was an old school friend that I hadn't seen for 15 years so there we were catching up in the pouring rain, I'm laying on the mudding front lawn doing c-spine on an accident victim and he's trying to appologize for not asking me to prom like he was supposed to and my three kids are standing around (they were teenagers so I was probably embarrasing them)and all my new neighbors are listening to this conversation not to mention three accident victims. I quess you had to be there let's just say I held a grudge because this gerk didn't ask me to prom so I didn't get to go.....I was bitter
