I have reached that point of panic and regret that happens before every major trip. Why are we doing this?
A couple of days ago both of us heard a big crash somewhere in the house. I ran upstairs and Kathleen ran downstairs but we could not find the source. Today I found it - I was out cleaning up all the garden hoses and draining the outdoor water pipes. While taking the hoses into the basement I noticed that one of the jackposts that holds up the living room floor had died. It had rusted away from the bottom and keeled over. My reaction was that there is no way this place can survive without me. Who else is going to notice and replace a rusty jackpost?
It is so beautiful here it seems insane to be heading off but in my head if not my heart I know that it will be worth it.

Hoping this type of post was something you could replace without too much difficulty!Jane
ReplyDeleteI would happy to go to China. It is the idea of going away for a entire year and that we would have left at the beginning of August that makes me glad we did not do it.
