I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas.....
This will be my first ever RETIRED summer, sorta.
Yes, I am still working maybe 24 hours a week, but it is mostly my call.
I can arrange to not work, if the fishing is good
I am just about done remodeling the inside of the house for guest FINALLY.
Then I get to work outside landscape, etc.....
Going to build a new "outbuilding" for all the clutter I took from out of the house, that my wife has NEVER used, but will not get rid of....
And the boat is all ready for guest to go catch salmon and crabs.
Going to be a real Holiday Inn this summer
So cool, can't wait to share my piece of heaven with family and friends.
Just a "side note" to show you what I mean.
I shared about my only brothers passing last month, right before Christmas on his birthday.
Well my brother had "another" family, 3 children and a wife, his first marriage....
Things got real ugly, and he left them, I really got in his face, BIG TIME over that bullsheet....
She remarried, he wasn't paying his support, so he gave his kids to another man, BUTTHEAD!
They were 1 years old, 3, and 4, years old.
No contact was ever made with the children by any of us, after this happened.....what do you do in something like this?
Anyway, the oldest child, has a son, who played on the Hawkeyes football team that was coming to the Rose Bowl, a few years ago.
They were all coming out from Iowa to see the BIG game.
She, Heather, decided to try and "find" her dad.
She did.
My brother called me so excited about this, it was really awesome.
So anyway, this contact by this brave child who was already rejected once
led to a opening of all of us getting back together.
His first wife, her mother, had died, as well as his middle daughter, both to cancer. But his youngest boy, Timmy, who I only saw as a baby is now all grown with kids, etc, and looks just like his dad, my brother.....
So, all of these lost family members will be working their way through Uncle Eddie's house, this summer and whenever.....
I can't wait
