My husband has been out of work since the last of January. He works for a construction company and no one has the money to expand or build right now. But that doesn't mean hubby has been sitting idle...no way!
Sam (my husband) has been in a frenzy of activity since he has been off work. Our property has never looked better! And that is great! I love it!
But hubby has decided that we need to utilize every inch of our property in a productive way. So...he has bought laying hens for us to have fresh eggs. He is building a pen for a milk goat, that he intends to buy for us as soon as the pen is completed. (Because someone told us that goat's milk is good for you.) Tomorrow he is going to buy a new tiller and we are putting in more vegetables. My spare bedroom is being converted into a "computer room" for me to do my writing in (awesome)!
And all of this is so wonderful...but I am exhausted! I am rushing, trying to keep up with this man! I say, "Let's pull the travel trailer to the lake and do some fishing", and he says, "You know, we could knock out this wall and make a bigger living room." And I reply, "Sure, hun, we can do that."
And both of us are looking for jobs, which is a dismal prospect because of the severely depressed economy in our area. Hubby has his unemployment benefits and we do okay on that. Because he has worked so hard, we have very little debt, but Sam isn't happy with just drawing a check...he needs to work a job. And I think that is why he is in such a high state of activity.
So this blog is dedicated to the man I have spent 35 years with, the man I love! Thank you, Sam, for working so tirelessly for us all these years. I appreciate you so very much!
But, could we go fishing now...read a book...watch a movie...cuddle?
Oh, what the heck. Give me a kiss and let's knock out that wall! I'm with you, hun!
