I am going through a divorce at 63 and will only have 1 1/2 acres to care for and was wondering how I could do it working full time and having a handicap grandchild that likes to come 2 weekends a month and another one that is so active in sports. I wondered should I just move to a smaller place and then I realized work will do me good no matter the aches and pains of an aging body. We lose so much as we age but surely there is a time for each loss. It is not my time yet I think to lose my home and perhaps not your time yet. God bless you with happiness and well being.

We don't live together but she is close and we see each other at least weekly and sometimes more. Have you thought of taking in a boarder and maybe someone who could help with the farm chores? I know it's scary to think about but maybe another woman who isn't as lucky as you to have a place of her own to call home. Just a thought - the barn wedding was lovely. good luck with your repro - it's beautiful - cheers Melwoolwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15223953682584202192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-88692795169705760872016-09-05T08:27:55.455-07:002016-09-05T08:27:55.455-07:00The bed story is wonderful.

You have a beautiful place to call home and I know having her lovely things surrounding you has to be so comforting! The wedding looks amazing and I agree with everyone that it would make a lovely retreat center for so many things!

A drastic change for you and I applaud your decision to stay. After seeing that beautiful field and barn, you could rent your property for gatherings. That field is perfect for vendors too. Take your time, it will come to you.marlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252451302831115791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-59501959937058676632016-09-03T16:37:48.181-07:002016-09-03T16:37:48.181-07:00All the best to you -- I hope you will be able to ...All the best to you -- I hope you will be able to stay in your home. Love the furniture you brought from your mother's side of the house -- beautiful! Love the sneak peek of the new sampler. I know when I stitched a sampler in honor of my mother, it was nice. I had her in my thoughts the whole time and it felt good.

Since you have more time , what about using the barn for classes that you teach. You have so many skills, I'm thinking gardening, herbs, stitching, designing samplers etc. I also love the idea that came from LindaLee using you beautiful home as a very small and selective B&B. We all love what you do and want you to be able to stay on your beautiful farm.

Rent it for different activities maybe or even to an organization for weekly meetings. You could also maybe start up some classes that you or someone else can teach for you. A portion of the weekly income from each participant could be for your space. I was also thinking that since your mom had a space all her own, maybe you could think about a guest room to rent out. I would just hate to see you lose the farm when there is so many wonderful memories there. You're so very talented also, and I think could come up with a way to help with the monthly payments. Please keep us all posted.LindaLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728347416196295679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8742758602823196909.post-12283055319214344502016-09-03T05:19:20.598-07:002016-09-03T05:19:20.598-07:00You saved some wonderful pieces which have special...You saved some wonderful pieces which have special memories.
