I got that ...Susan, sorry I didn't answer you! I got that image an age ago, stumbling across it on the Web. That said, the credit is given to http://go.funpic.hu. But, when I went to check it out: beware, there are a lot of inappropriate, R-rated cartoons / images there!<br /><br />Erin, you are TOO sweet! An inspiration is someone like YOU: raising two little ones when C is deployed, being the Queen of Organization (my house right now would give you a coronary - matter of fact, I wouldn't let you SEE it right now!), making due in your tiny house, doing all the gardening and preserving . . . I could go on and on!<br /><br />The ex not leaving (Swamp River Ridge and the marriage) until early 2010 vs. early 2009 didn't gain me anything done around here, really. First off, he was still too injured to do anything. Following that, he'd just lost interest in the place. :(<br /><br />Above the garage is what will be the pub (I'm sure I've mentioned that before) and an apartment for friends and a storage room. Right now, the internal walls are framed, but that's all. No insulation, no heat, no plumbing.<br /><br />And, no, I'll never give up! Not when I love this place and my life here so much! :)<br /><br />Karen Sue, I *DID* make a little fire in the kitchen's wood cookstove last night. But today, instead of throwing another log on the fire, I'll be working on the pile of wood: chainsawing and throwing THAT around! :)Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-79790755084893834082011-03-14T08:45:35.891-05:002011-03-14T08:45:35.891-05:00I think that was the big spring snow that was so w...I think that was the big spring snow that was so wet here, it looked blue!!<br />Nasty, heavy stuff... just throw another log on the fire and sit tight..Karen Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189370281390432351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-91912408429881156392011-03-11T15:48:49.768-06:002011-03-11T15:48:49.768-06:00Hmmm, so much to chat about, wish I could be there...Hmmm, so much to chat about, wish I could be there! For some reason, I was under the impression that it was a motorcycle accident, probably just because of the severity of the injuries. In hindsight it's kind of too bad you didn't have that extra year of being single, you might not be single right now LOL... but then again I'm sure SRR wouldn't have gotten many things finished that you so needed to be done - and yet you are still working so hard on them as well as trying to support it alone. I think of how strong you have had to be the past year and it makes me smile, not many women can do it without giving up, you are inspiring and I miss ya! Lovely photos... and what do you have above that garage? Maybe you need to take in some renters up there? I wonder if my family would miss me... :) hugs...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-37034457952699936742011-03-11T14:19:57.821-06:002011-03-11T14:19:57.821-06:00Oh, Susan, you're SO sweet: "peeking int...Oh, Susan, you're SO sweet: "peeking into my life"! I LOVE that! That *IS*, after all, what we're all doing, right (we bloggers): providing a peek into our lives?<br /><br />And, thank you, truly, for the kind words about the ex & me. Certainly there are bumps along the way but I can't imagine never, ever having anything to do with someone who slept next to me every night for 13+ years! (Although, I certainly expect how some people would feel that way.)<br /><br />And, "you are quite something"? Pshaw. RIGHT back atcha, babe!Chicken Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11704834273210183660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-54753002556532694482011-03-11T10:48:09.691-06:002011-03-11T10:48:09.691-06:00And I wanted to add that you are so amazingly soli...And I wanted to add that you are so amazingly solid about the whole process, hindsight or not. I am glad you and the ex are still 'friends' - it is so important, to me, that there is a positive out of every painful experience. You are quite something.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12847808.post-78778682164624110172011-03-11T10:31:58.370-06:002011-03-11T10:31:58.370-06:00Where on god's green earth did you get that he...Where on god's green earth did you get that header photo?!
