About 25 years ago, we built the home we now live in..At the time our contractor came to me and asked if I'd like the leftover scraps of wood to burn in our fireplace? Sure I said, so he had the men stack it neatly..It being summer then I forgot about it til one evening the kids thought they might like a fire, well by golly all the scrap was gone. I find out about 6 months later that our dear next door neighbor, about 1/4 mile away had done us a huge favor and came with her DH's pickup and loaded it up and used it in her fireplace!!! This she told me as she handed me open mail (mine) she had for 2 weeks..Okay..Over and done with. It's now 25 years later, we had a large cottonwood tree cut down 2 weeks ago and had it left so we could cut and stack it to burn after it weathered some..Okay, I'm here typing to all of you about taking the kids to have pictures taken and my dog and my mom's dog both blow a gaskit and I hear an electric something start up..I go to the front and guess what?? Same neighbor, husband in tow with saw is starting to cut and put the limbs in her pickup!!! Well let me tell ya, I just had a fit. I'm afraid I wasn't very nice, called her a thief and ran um off...I cannot for the life of me see how anyone can justify taking from someone without even asking and then get uppity about it. Telling me they were helping me clean up my yard.Yep just like the last time... Was I angry?
Just a tad How would you have dealt with this? Had she been needy or even asked for some of the wood, it would have been my pleasure, but this couple have a lot of land and money. I just don't understand...
