It is all looking lovely Donna, you are both doing a really great job. Is it a quiet place? Do you hear forest sounds?
We have been changing out our very bad old kitchen here this week, and replacing it with a second hand one I found online. What a mess and we are both feeling very tired. It will be worth it though, once we are done.
Blessings, Pam in Norway

The pictures were beautiful Donna, and the names if the roads just delightful.
You worked SO hard making those steps and the work being undertaken inside Myrtle one can see how much progress you and Charles are making.
Back home to regular life you are still working hard. I have pattypan squash about to be planted also for my Spring garden. Your posts are always eagerly awaited each week. Thank you for the gift of your time to write them for us.

Grandma G you and Charles are such an inspiration. I have wrote a couple of letters before and you were always gracious to answer. This summer we moved from our older house in Christiana, TN to a small farm in Ethridge, TN. I am still working and we are figuring out where we want the garden and the fruit trees to go in for next year. When I feel that there is not enough hours in the day I think of all that you get accomplished and I am inspired to keep going. Thank you for all that you share with us.
God bless.

What great progress on the tiny house! Congratulations. And the photos of the drive were lovely. I nodded when I read your comment about Charles still working and doing extra jobs helps motivate you as well. There are days when I see my husband being very productive and it spurs me to get up and get going ;). Thanks for the update on your tiny home.

Great job on those steps! I love your little tiny house - such a nice place to get away to. Almost like a playhouse to fix up!

Looks like things are coming along quite well. Your steps are going to be so useful and I'm impressed with your work on them. I can imagine how your muscles must have let you know that you had given them a real workout! It will be nice when all this is done and you can enjoy your time there with your relative and not just work! I imagine that you are a lot of company for her and it's good that you can (and will) do this to help her.

Susan, it is about an hour and 15 minutes each way.

Oh, Donna...my back just hurt looking at the photos of the steps you made. That is some backbreaking work, but oh so nice when done. I bet they will be great for all to use...especially the girls.

I had to smile at the comment that Madge said she misses you both when you are gone. I am sure she would love to have you there every day. Some day you will be able to be more comfort for her.

Myrtle is coming along so well. You are right about the memories you are making. It's a lot of hard work, but doing it yourself is priceless.

I have started my own version of "one room proper" here and at my mom's house. It is working out and I am going to keep it up. It makes it all so much easier to do, just a bit more each day and if I have to skip a day, there's always next week. I used to get so discouraged when things would not go right, but now, I just let it go knowing I will catch it next week. Thanks for your encouragement on housekeeping.

The photos of your scenery on the way to the lake are nice and calming. No wonder you like it there. I love the fields of cotton. Around here, it would be corn or soybean.

Take care,
Darlene

I love your steps! Myrtle is looking amazing. Last year I re-did the room my daughter's share with the same bead board and it just really made a difference. I so wish we could could have a winter garden, even fall is tough in ND. We just had our first hard freeze the other day, house got awfully cold so I broke down and turned on the furnace. Now it's suppose to warm up again so I will have to turn it back down. Can't wait to see what you share next :)

Oh those steps look great! Such a job tho. Love how that little house is coming together. You both do such nice work. All the pictures are good to see and to follow along with you. I just picked my last green tomatoes as it is getting colder here at night. Pulled the plants also. I always get terrible blight on them but they are old heirloom varieties so have to put up with it. Left my last beans for seed to save and now they are done. Still have loads of zinnias and other flowers blooming. No frost yet. Always looking forward to what you are doing next!
