Congratulations!

I love the gown, and 114 acres would certainly solve some of my issues with neighbors. The horses will love it, too.

It was nice meeting you at Keystone and seeing you in person in your stunning outfit! Like you I am also still on a high from the conference.

Congratulations on buying your new property in WV! I just wonder what happens if any of the trees mentioned in your deed gets blown over by a storm? Would you have to file for an amended deed?

Hugs,

Heidemarie

It certainly must be a challenge handling both properties, your business, horses, and more.

I hope everything goes super smooth.

  Thrusters failed and I came crashing back to earth. Working hard and wearing man clothes all the time has had a profound effect on my emotions. From depression to questioning if I made the right decision. Progress has been slow getting my property ready for sale as work has kept me busy most of the time. I had a timber buyer that had wanted to buy some trees back out of the deal. Then a potential buyer for the business decided the time was not right for him and needed at least 6 months. Had a couple interested in buying my house come by last night and seamed less than enthused about it. Most of this stuff is way to soon anyway but still depressing. I had thought I would be doing a lot of work in the evenings but just can't find the energy to do it. I have been busy clearing a path for a fence around my horse pasture. The relator said a proper fence would help sell is as a horse farm. We have been using a strand of electric. Anyway I had made a huge pile of brush which I decided to burn last Sunday. Flames 40 feet in the air, a beautiful fire until the fire company showed up with the state fire marshal and state police. The gave me the usual lecture and threatened me with a fine if I ever do it again. They put out the fire and now I'm stuck with a bunch of blackened branches to get rid of. Such is life for Gina. Could be worse, I could be stuck as a man!

Gina,

That sounds like a lot of disappointments to hit all at once.

Can you build a smaller fire? 

A fence can be good.  Sounds costly.

Interest rates are falling.  That may good for home buying and refinancing. 

If the economy falters though many people will take a more conservative approach for purchases, including a purchase of a businesses.  There are always risks.

Wishing you well Gina.

I purchased a post pounder to help with the fencing. Decided to use cut off telephone poles for the corners and found that my girl muscles won't lift them into position. I'll have to scrap that idea and just use the standard 6" ones.
I sold my weight sets and lifting benches. I have not used them in many years and don't plan to ever again. Sold a couple of old hay wagons. Trying to get rid of some of this stuff not needed anymore. 
Cleaned out the basement, what a mess! I have been a hoarder of sorts, I guess I don't need tax papers from 1983 anymore. 
Did some brush hogging around the perimeter of the property to make it look bigger. Soon I will have to work on the driveway.

  I tried something new. I was doing, some research on woman's hormone cycles and tried to copy it by altering mine to match. Last week I was in a foul mood. All I can attribute it to is PMS which sucks. I, think I will try one more month of this just to be sure but if I go through another bout of that bad mood I will have to stop the experiment.
  Went trail ridding yesterday for a few miles. My horse was full of it and wanted to go, even bucked at one point. Horses are very sensitive and pick up on the slightest cue from the rider. I had been wanting to get home and back to work so i guess he picked up on that. Work continues on prepping the property for sale. My business is busy so I have to work a lot there leaving little time for the other stuff.

Somehow you will squeeze everything in Gina.

   I had a meeting with another business owner, that might want to purchase my door business. I hope things work out. It would be nice to be able to dedicate myself fulltime to preparing to move. 
   Managed to go for a 7 mile ride on Dundee(my horse) Sunday. I need some sanity time!
  Down to twice a day dilating now. It feel funny not taking that break in the middle of the day. It's become so much a habit at this point.
   My battery charger had an interesting problem, the cord melted down. I tried replacing the cord and it worked fine. A few days latter the new cord melted. That's when I realized every time I plugged it into a 3 way this happened. Bad 3 way. 3rd cord and it works fine now.
   Finished installing my fence posts. Now the fencing.
Still selling old junk. Had a wheel barrow that was my grandfathers not much good except for decoration. Sold that for a few bucks.

Lots of people seem to use things for decoration rather than their original purpose.
I have seen old bicycles on display in yards, as an example.

My uncle in Colorado does small engine repair. He has lawn mowers in his yard for sale (because he didn't get paid for the repairs). The city came by and cited him for operating a business in a residential area. But he is permitted to sell his own creations, like art. So he changed the sign in his yard. It no longer says "Small Engine Repairs". Now it says "Yard Art".  ;D

Then, as the final middle finger, he changed his business cards to read "_____'s Small Engine Repair and Yard Art."

   So the business is sold! Soon to be retired. About a month till the final job. I'm looking forward to it but also scared of not having a job. I started working when I was 14 and have never stopped. 
  Cleaned up my boat and posted it for sale yesterday. It hasn't even been in the water for 2 years! Doc also said I cant wakeboard or water ski with my new hip. That made the decision to sell it a little easier.

davina61

Do you have a workshop at the new place, find something to restore ,recycle or repurpose . Nothing to complicated or hard just stuff to keep you hands and brain active.

   The new place has a shop and I am looking forward to using it. With free natural gas I can heat it and may be have a forge and play with some metal. Also has 220v electric for my welder and plenty of current to run anything else. There is plenty to do there.
   Now I have to push to get our place on the market for sale.
  Did take time out for a trail ride yesterday. Horses were well behaved and even though it was a difficult trail they did well.
