The gifting fairy strikes again?

the world is filled with wonderful people, my husband recently fell very ill, and at the time we had so much going for us. We were just starting to build our dream home, we were doing all the work ourselves. Every day after work we would go to the building site and work until we were exhausted. And then, his blood pressure went uncontrollable, 218 over 110 today after weeks of medicines that exhaust him. He is sleeping 20 hours a day, so not him. I went out to the building site to take care of the chickens after getting off work one evening and thought that some work had been done on the basement, maybe husband felt better? Day two, quite noticeable, someone is working on the house. Day three, it's now Wednesday, more work done to the house. It took me nearly two weeks to finally catch the varmits. Our wonderful neighbors, just thought they would help out so that we could still see progress and keep motivated. They are retired, just came over and did what was obivious. I insisted that they stop and told them how grateful that we were that they were helping us. It may be awhile before the hubby and I can get back to work on the house. Even with insurance, yowser, hospitals are expensive, down to my income, but we are doing fine. A by-pass or three or four and something with the cartoid arteries almost completely blocked and hopfully he will be as good as new! Almost.

But what those neighbors did touched us deeply. So yes, we occassionly get whacked on the head, sometimes more often than not. So, yes, you look good in platinum, and you deserve it. I am so happy that this site exists so that you can stay in touch with all of us. I look forward to the day the hubby will feel like playing in the backyard with the chickens!
 
thanks Brattish taz and baby makes6. Yesterday a leaf blew across the road in front of me on the commute from work. Had to pull over to the side of the road and have a good cry. Hadn't done that thru this whole ordeal. Scared me to think of being a widow at 50, there is so much the two of us have to do yet.
