Rick - perhaps your aunt worked in an area where there were problems with repeat offenders and family issues. It isn't unusual anywhere.
Funny about Mahwah!
Deb - sorry to hear the winds and storms wreaked havoc on your trellis. Winter is a good time for dreaming.
One wind storm took down the top of a copper trellis my husband made. It was sad to see how the top collapsed. He removed it and now it's a "window" at the potting bench.
