The Family
I promised to give you an update on the family. The best way to do that is to do it one by one. But let’s first start with the large group. The family birthday party in November was the largest one we had. This year we had Earl’s sons and daughters-in-law’s join us. My daughter Sheena was also able to join us. There were sixteen of us this year. Christmas was a little quieter this year and a…

It takes Courage to Change
I was raised in a world where women were expected to be everything to everyone. They were expected to put themselves last. We were told to respect the elders, the in-laws, and the family no matter what was said or done. Accept and be quiet. Do more than you can physically or mentally do. Carry the burden. Take on the responsibility of others and just do it and shut up. And I did what I was…

Hello... Is There Anybody Out There?
Hello, is there anyone out there? Where did you guys go? What happened after you sold the cottage? How is the family? And by the way, we really miss your blog, please write again. Those are just a few of the messages I have received over the past few months. With the increase of new followers of the blog and the many emails, I figured I better sit down and write. I’ll start with… We are…

On To The Next Adventure
On To The Next Adventure
The Next Toy Let’s start with the first change. The Warriors are no longer Warriors. They are the family. The Warrior’s name has been retired. Now let’s talk about what is coming next. There are the trips. One to Mexico in February. This trip started out with just a few of us and has now increased in numbers, with it a promise of a Sixth Birthday that I’ll never forget. The second one I…

Packing and Moving Day
Packing and Moving Day
We thought for sure the neighbors must have noticed something was going on when we started pulling up the gardens and moved the grapevines to one of the Warriors’ farm. That same week we bought an eight-by-twenty shipping container and had it delivered to the house. I needed storage for all this double household stuff. Over the next two weeks, we took out two carloads, two truckloads, and two…

What Came Next/Sold
Once Husband and I had made the final decision to sell the cottage, we talked to the Warriors. That’s when we got the biggest surprise. They felt the same way we did. They were no longer happy at the cottage either. They only came because we were there. What surprised us the most, was all the things we hated, they did too. They said… Sell it. So we sat down with them and asked, what would you…

August 27th, 2022
There are some days in your life that you will never forget. Every minute of that day will be imprinted in my brain for as long as I can remember. The day started off at the cottage with the Warrior Ladies. We had a big day ahead of us. There was going to be a potluck dinner party for me for my graduation. I had canceled the big party originally planned as there was much too much going on. Six…

The Decks and Siding are Completed
The Decks and Siding are Completed
How did we spend the Summer? Why building of course. The back deck had lived a long life and was now dying of old age and it needed to go. For Fun I pulled up the original picture of the back of the house and yes we still had this small part of the deck on the back. Since we had already built the deck that covered the whole front of the house and then added the enclosed porch, it was time to…

Spring 2022
The screened-in porch. Spring started off in the normal way, with a list of projects. While the weather in early Spring was still balancing off between wet and cool, Husband put in new floors in the Warrior’s Cottage. He worked steadily for several weekends to get it accomplished before they arrived. His work efforts paid off as he finished the flooring in time for the weather to stable off.…
