The Move to Fischer
animals
This move was hard on some of my pets. My cat, Owl, disappeared about 2 weeks before the move so he was the first casualty. He was pretty frustrated with me and my busy schedule and he had been wandering more and more. I did not force him to stay in at night because he [...]
shelves
It is amazing to me the things I have taken for granted in my life. For instance, I just assumed that all houses came with shelves. It did not occur to me that this was something I would have to do. Well, guess what, after all the workers left and I started to unpack I [...]
transition
July 1st I moved to my new property. The house was not finished but I had this idea that me living on the property would somehow encourage the workers to finish up. Evidently, this was a totally wrong impression. After being told it would only take a few days to finish I was still waiting [...]
Windows, windows and more windows
The first thing we had to do with the apartment was to cut out the doors and windows through the walls of the barn. My MD barn is made of 3/4 inch plywood sandwiched between two layers of metal. When the windows were cut out I realized I was not getting the light and view [...]
How not to meet your neighbors
After 40+ days of over 100 degree heat we finally got some rain and the county lifted the burn ban. My cousin, Sonny, decided to burn a few brush piles down in the pasture he leases from me. Unfortunately, he lit one more pile than he could manage and some grass caught fire. We had [...]
Progress
It has been forever since I have posted and this is because I have been exhausted! Sonny and I were hard at our fencing project every day in June(which, by the way, was the hottest June ever recorded in the area). There were so many days when we were sure we could not go on [...]
Things are happening!
Wow! It has been a while since I have posted because I have been super busy. I also have about 200 emails that need some attention. Since my last post I have closed on the construction loan and I now have electricity and will have water today. The carpenters started yesterday on the apartment and [...]
lowered expectations on fencing
Well, I am making a dent in the fencing project but I have yet to actually stretch a single foot of actual fence. It seems every line has at least one hole that is too hard of rock or needs a brace bar or has to have some pipe posts. I finally got ready to [...]
tractor woes
I don’t own a tractor but my cousin, Sonny, has one he is using to help me. It is old but powerful. I don’t know if this is to be expected but since we have been using it we have bent the arm that holds the bucket on, gotten the transmission stuck so we could [...]
leaving the clinic
Even though I have felt this move coming on for a long time it was still hard to pack up and leave the clinic. I have so many memories there. I finally had to have my friend, Rita, come in and clear out all the records as it was too hard for me. The good [...]
