Another step in the process

 

Yep, another step in my journey, Anders birthday is today he would of  been 77 years old today, in my opinion too young to not still be here on this living plane with me. He loved life and his biggest joy was our grandchildren he loved to entertain them to no end and they loved to do the same with him.

  I decided since there was too much snow to do anything on my property that I was going to do things today to avoid just sitting here. So I made an appointment for this morning to get a few things settled at our lawyers, then walked around Stowe in a couple of our favorite shops, got some lunch at Debs in Morrisville, went into a local hardware store and got some saw horses to help with my future build, bought some new fun tools yesterday!

  It has been decided since its going to be too muddy too long to get my daughters chicken coop moved out of their backyard, I will build one. If you know me at all you know I like this idea better anyway since I LOVE building things! I drew up the plans and the material list and then....

 BANG! It snowed, two days in a row, got a total of 8" which has delayed my progress....the first day it snow wet HEAVY snow so I only shoveled the end of the driveway for a couple cars and not the front yard...and then more snow the next day so of course where I shoveled its all melted so only my fault that I can't call and get the materials delivered yet because there is too much snow where the coop is going to be.

A friend of mine invited me to go to a concert that was being held at the college in town, Bernie Sanders was there which was really cool and some choruses from schools all over the state, it was a fun time and so grateful that she invited me!

 I'm so very grateful for the friends I have who check in on me, invite me to go places etc. I look forward to when I can invite them here! Currently its a snug fit for people to fit in my little spot with two dogs and three cats sitting on all the furniture. ha ha!

For the most part though I'm doing pretty well, I'm enjoying the gym and eventually look forward to adding another day so that I can start lifting again. Nothing empowers you more than lifting!  I hope as soon as mud season is over that I take a little time to start walking and hopefully running on the loops right out in front of my house.:)  Course I have stuff on the property to do too, clearing enough on the edges of my property so I can put up some fencing for the dogs and will keep my chickens safer too. :) 

Currently I am enjoying the sun shinning through my windows and even opened one to get some fresh air in here. Life is good ,sometimes it has some bumps but I know it's up to me to smooth those bumps and I am determined to do just that. I know thats what Anders wanted me to do, I'm so glad he and I talked so much about my future in the last few months before he passed on.
