We are finally in the new house

Well, it has been a long haul but we are finally in the new house. Got a few loose ends to finish up with , but at last we are living here. Glad to get out of the 5th wheel trailer too. Since we finished blacking in the house, we have lived here in our 5th wheel trailer. Just go to the Foley house for mail and laundry chores. It was just more convenient staying up here and was able to look after the place and keep the copper thieves away.

It has been a hard road to travel with a few set backs. Like the occlusion of the retina in my left eye. ( basically a stroke in my left eye). As you know I have to sit with an I.V. tube every six weeks, well now I have to have a shot in my left eye every 7 weeks. No fun. ? Since, I had to have a cataract surgery that did not go well and had complications. Now I am in need of still another surgery to correct those complications. Not sure if all this came about because of the high blood pressure or the diabetes. But it is not fun trying to worked one eyed. Now when I tell people I am deft in my left ear and can not see out of the other I am telling the truth.......
Then came the tornado that destroyed the barn. But, in spite of it all, we are living in the new house. Never a dull moment around here. We have the barn put all back together now, but the clean up still goes on. I rented a container to store my junk for awhile, so there is no hurry in getting all moved back into the barn.
Still moving junk from the Foley house. If anyone has a shortage of junk, I can help out. I keep telling Janene that we should just sell the house with all the junk and let some body else have a hand at it. You know "One man's junk is another man's treasure." You know if you have not used something in the last year, you sure as heck don't need to keep it.
It is so nice to have My own stove and kitchen. Now she has hers and I have mine. And I have a gas stove, something I have wanted since we have been married nearly 40 years. Yep, a long time to be together and it sure does not seem that long. Talking about time going by fast. It is almost a year coming up since I lost my buddy Skeeter. I still miss him so bad. Everyone tells me I need to get another dog. And good advice I might add. It is advice I have given for many years to people that has lost a pet like Skeeter. But that is advice I can not bring myself to take. Skeeter was one of a kind and I do not believe I can replace such a little fellow. O, I know I would love another and get really attached to him like I did Skeeter. But how can you replace a fellow like Skeeter. He was so special to me. I do believe it would hurt worst.
Well, I am just rambling now. But that is what a blog is. A place for a person to ramble and write down their thoughts.
I will close with this. The garden is planted. The grass is cut and we have time to stop and visit now. So come on by and sit a spell. The coffee is always hot and the beer is always cold. Janene can always come up with a glass of wine, so come on by and see us when you can.
And thanks for listening to my ramblings. Till next time that is the way it is down on the Sugar Farm.
