How are you and Rich?

We are good. Rich is home. They started him on Bentyl for his spasms and that seems to be helping.

Rich is doing well. His testing showed that his entire GI track is very angry and irritated but no significant changes.

The colonoscopy showed everything looks good no tissue death from the aneurysm, which is wonderful! That means no surgery on his bowel.

He is back to a full diet and as long as every thing says the same he'll be home tomorrow.

Well done for the doctors.

It's an enormous worry feeling insecure about where your home will be. There's so many factors to consider with any move.

With crime increasingly getting worse and unhinged neighbor's like Alex has just experienced recently. It's something that really worries me daily.

Oh that sounds very stressful too.

Hi friends. Most of you know we are renters (in the Great Recession, we lost a luxury home we built because the market crashed before we could get certificate of occupancy to sell, but that’s another story.) I have fully embraced the humble life. I grew up in a very comfortable family in a wealthy town, I’m educated... I never imagined myself in this position. However, I am grateful. I can survive on very little, and I really feel I have my priorities straight. I love this rustic setting with chicken poop everywhere, overgrown pasture and putting my dirty bare feet right on the earth.

However, renting has its drawbacks. The woman who owned this property passed away recently. I’ve been dreading this day, as I LOVE living here. Her nephew, the primary beneficiary, would like for things to stay the same, but there are multiple parties on the trust, and they may eventually have to sell. I will continue on embracing every moment. We have every local predator, and the place is ridden with termites and sometimes rats. But I love it and wish I could buy it.

I want my beloved birds to live out their days here. And my doggo. She’s a border collie... total country dog. Most importantly... my kids, especially my daughter. This has been home for twelve years, and she is seventeen. Please send your thoughts and prayers that we get to stay here a long time to come.

Having just gone through and still struggling with something similar I hope you can find a way to stay where you are.
It's a terrible thing to have to walk away from all that you love because of petty legislation, or greed. I'll be thinking of you.

Thank you, Shad.
