A WHOLE YEAR!!!!!

I am here, in a dozen places, put together with tape.
I have been reading some of my Bella, she is a gal I follow her blog.She blows me away with her writing.She's pretty good.I find myself wishing I had lots of time to be on this computer every day and I don't. I have kids, a house,husband,father,and an adult daughter,who takes more time than any one:D But life gets in the way I still manage to spend a lot of time here too.

Yesterday I went to the ranch,put out a spread and Andy and I had Shonna and Jay come down and we sat and went over house things for hours, then we went up on the site and the guys messed around with a laser thingy and it was way cool, I like Shonna a lot,she has a wonderful laugh. O.K. so the bomb that I got last night was that its going to take a year to build this house,once we get the foundation started.
I knew that.
Ya I knew that.
I did. I just forgot.
Somebody said six months and that stuck, all my reading told me it would take a year at least, it always takes longer with log. I am just preying we can afford to build some thing that is going to take a year to build. Oh shit!!!!
Not only that, I have strong feelings about this because of my Dad. He is eighty six and doing o.k. but of all of us he has pushed this the most, he has wanted to move to the ranch,"get the hell out of this country." He is so excited its going to be
log, and he is completely blown away by my design of the house and everyday he just keeps saying I just want to get down there and see this happen, when the hell is this thing gonna get started. I worry about him. I want him to live in our new house.
He has had a couple real close calls health wise in the last couple years.
Then on top of all of that is the fact that he lives next to me in an old shack that only has wood heat, and when its forty below zero here, he sits in an kitchen chair in front of the stove all night long to stay warm, feeding it pieces of wood all night. He has nothing there, his table and his books. He has his little dog,
Dowbie,him and mom were together fifty six years and he says they never quit having a honey moon, and boy is he right. True love. I ve only seen one other couple who were even close and that was Jack and Betty Myles.But Dad, I don't want him to spend
another winter alone in that house. We can't all live in here because he would
not be happy here. And most of all I want him to be happy. I think if we can
get away with it, we can finish the basement and move into it for the next
winter.It is quite a bit bigger than the house I now live in, all by itself.
That way the kids can start school in the new school.We don't have to worry about
wood, snow,bad roads and no husband or Dad for the kids.Or I suppose we could try
to find a place to rent when school gets out?? So yes we shall have to see.
I have the opportunity to go work out today, at nine o clock,with Dad and Booby.
I am all over that. uh huh
Then we take Miss Booby in and she is going to get her butt length hair which is
very thick and luxurious cut all off to above her chin for the Navy. She is doing it for locks of love. After that she has a DEP meeting with the Navy. So the baby's
have early out, we will take them with us and maybe Grampa if he wants to go.
I know that its all going to be expensive for me today, yikes. I have to find
a way to cut back on the money around here. We will make due, just have to
curb a little of the spending that's all.
for the moment i's done.......
