I have fully retired from work to take care of Sharon. I have taken on the daily chores of bill paying, car & home maintenence, cooking and house cleaning as well taking care of the property mowing and gardening. Sharon still loves to help mow grass. Her Troy-bilt mower has aged such that she hasn't the strength to steer or press engagement pedal like she used to. We purchased a new John Deere mower that has power steering and engagement devices which require just the pushing of a switch. We purchased it at the tail end of the mowing season so she hasn't had time to get used to her new mower. The little that she got to use it, she did quite well on it. The plus side of the new mower, I ordered a 47" snow blower attachment for it. And, wouldn't ya know it... we haven't received any significant snow fall yet this year. Oh well, Winter isn't over yet. *smile*
The only other significant event that occurred this year was that Sharon and her brothers finally settled the property they all three shared ownership. It was divided up and sold to a neighbor farmer down the road. Sharon wanted to keep her portion and have it farmed but we were unable to find a willing farmer to farm it. It took almost five years to reach a settlement they all three agreed with. Thankfully, that is all in the past now.
This pretty much sums up events for the year here. I will try to be more attentive to updates to these pages in the coming new year. Hope you all have a safe and wonderful Christmas and a properous New Year. *smile*
Anyway, I'll be adding a few more lines here in the very near future. Until then, hope you all are having an enjoyable May.
