Since we are the same age-retired the same time- I've admired but wondered how you've done so much. It seems like when we can finally retire and do the things we always wanted to spend more time on- we aren't as strong and healthy as we were- but it's all new - different adventures. Prayers for Keith's healthy and your own safety around the farm. Best wishes and Blessings to you both and your animals......<br />Fondly, RainRainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05544530163641503879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817285380732686421.post-90229020112531084282014-03-05T13:12:45.324-06:002014-03-05T13:12:45.324-06:00Oh Mary Ann, I'm so sorry to read this.

I can understand why you must move on , animals are wonderful but there is a certain kind of responsibility that goes with having them and it can be exhausting , particularly if you do not feel up to it.You will find lovely homes for your animals and you will feel so much happier at your new home .

The most important thing is to stay healthy and enjoy each other. The winter has been terrible, you have persevered long and hard, no one could doubt this is a sensible decision.

I told them they needed to re-evaluate their situation periodically. However, I knew in my heart that my father would only leave feet first (and he did). My mother did not drive and 3 months later we moved her to my sister's home. The property and most of their possessions were eventually sold. <br /><br />I know how hard it will be to leave your home and little farm. We would love to hear how the two of you are doing, the big changes ahead and that new house and little garden ;)<br /><br />Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847481653550841384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1817285380732686421.post-42042192554578617002014-03-03T22:13:20.031-06:002014-03-03T22:13:20.031-06:00I know this must have been so hard to write as it ...I know this must have been so hard to write as it is hard to give up a home that you've put so much time and love into.
