We have now owned our dream homestead for 4 months. As you can read in other posts it was a Gordon Van Tine super fixer upper, and we have 5 years to complete it. There were no big completions this weekend, but the rain has put me in a reflective mood. I would like to look at how truly blessed I am.
I truly am the richest man in the world.
I have a loving family. I have my Beautiful wife, Laurie, who shares my dreams, and whom I am able to work beside day in and day out. While I love art, she is a fantastic artist and art teacher.
(You can find her art teacher blog at http://pledlspalette.blogspot.com/)
I have 5 wonderful children, two of which will be giving us our first grandchildren within the next six months. I have my loving parents, brothers and sisters, who love me as much as I love them.
I have a job I love, managing a program for seniors with Alzheimer’s, where I plan to work until I retire.
(The Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Waukesha, WI takes place this weekend. Please consider donating to help the cause!! http://act.alz.org/site/TR?fr_id=11638&pg=personal&px=14532767 )
And then when I retire……It becomes a farm!
Our remodeling is going great!! In 4 months we have completed 2 rooms, which include all new plumbing and electric. We have started 3 other rooms, all slowly moving to completion. We have started reclaiming the property, with paths leading to newly planted trees, and others leading back into the 15 acres.
Thank you for visiting to keep up with our progress. Since a furnace for the home is not planned until next year, or maybe the year after, things will be closed up over winter, with lots of time to plan for new progress in spring.
No amount of money could make my life any better!
