Give me a flowing stream with decent fish in it and the woods and I can toss all this away…I was born and raised in the hills and just about everyone else in my 'hood. Them was the Good "Ol Days!

You would be surprised at what I could do with that first "building".Gracie I can get you into a fixer upper for only $15.00 a month. No utility bills to pay. Got a crick nearby that never runs dry.

Lets pool our resources and take up Hossfly on his most generous offer. We can put bunk beds in there, grow a garden, make it homey. Then we can rent out the outhouse for 600 per month to make extra money to put into our shack.Give me a flowing stream with decent fish in it and the woods and I can toss all this away…
I miss the simple life…
I hate fish. But I hear ya......Give me a flowing stream with decent fish in it and the woods and I can toss all this away…
I miss the simple life…
I wish that for you Gracie.I haven't fished in years, but enjoyed it when I did.
Meanwhile, I already have plans in place for the home so nicely offered. See all those downed trees behind it? Roof...side walls. Rent being only fifteen bucks, that place can be really spoofed up. And the guest house in Hossflys post offering such prizes can be hauled over to the homestead as another bedroom. Or kitchen. Or bathroom. Oh yes...I could make that place really homey!

See?
Ol Hossfly is slapping himself about now, dontcha think? lol
You must tell yourself repeatedly he doesn’t want me to suffer. He wants me to be happy.He called me honeybunner. Only time he used my real name was when we argued about politics. HoneyBunner. I called him TootsiePie.
I'm so worn out. Its been a long night. Gonna be a long day too, methinks. I have these bouts. Its just so...empty here now. He didn't want to, but he left me. He alone, and now me alone. Cruel.
Big hug, Gracie. I lost the love of my life and 44 years of the best marriage on the face of this earth six years ago. It was better than having the world's prettiest and sweetest rosebuds in the world laid down at my feet to walk on every minute of every day, and the thoughtfulness of a good man .. there's no better prize anywhere. He left so many fine and admirable memories, all I have to do is think of him, and it makes my day still. He planned everything out as a good engineer does. He knew that if he left me a happy heart, my future would be at least happy for me. The rascal. He was always right and acted accordingly with finesse and love combined as only he knew how. *sigh* The hard part was learning to be by myself. I'm not the person he was, but I'm luckier. I have memories of the pure bliss he brought into my life. And I'm certain he is busy up there in Heaven figuring out how to make the angels laugh when they have such a sour little world to look over. God needed him more considering how much misery there is in the world. I'm sure he is definitely up there making heaven a happier place into eternity. I'm so proud of what he is most likely doing in service to everyone who has sorrows that his loving spirit heals. Hope you can see the sunny side of having the perfect person in your life being useful doing heaven's work, and may you one day notice the roses your man left for you to walk on with the fragrance rising to remind you of the sweetness of his soul that only you knew about.He called me honeybunner.

Yup, I lost a dear friend recently. His widow and he had been married for 47 years. He had been suffering from alzheimers so while his passing was a relief for him, she has been left without her partner, and they truly were partners, so we help when we can, but most times we can't.....at night especially, it is just the way it is.Gracie was blessed with a long marriage...most do not understand that loss...i wont claim to understand but i hope she can just get thru the day...dreading the night....sleep is hard enough at our age
Your support is more of a blessing to your friend than you know, westwall. Kudos to you and your family.Yup, I lost a dear friend recently. His widow and he had been married for 47 years.

We kidnap her from time to time and take her to dinner, or bring her to our place for dinner, and a game of cards, but always at the end of the day she is alone.
