Day 1,289 of the Adventure
Many times, the only things of significance that separates the days down here is the temperature on the thermometer and the number on the calendar. Especially when the day-to-day work is the same every day. Like working on the basement walls. Or, waiting for the rain to stop so we can work on the basement walls. Today is different though. Today's date on the calendar signifies that Shelley and I have been married for 45 years. And that IS significant. Especially for us, since we are only about 40 years old!....... We wish...... No, we married at the ages of 19 and 21. Making us 64 and 66 now. Many would consider that perfect for retirement, and I'd have to mostly agree. But no..... The chapter of life we are writing now is one of building a backwoods life and it is certainly a life of activity. Some people golf to stay active, some run marathons, and we build things. In that sense, I suppose the word retirement fits. I think we prefer to view life as just that, life. It's a matter of fitting in all of the things we wanted to do over the years but were too busy to actually do. Now, we're fitting those things in and adding campfires and gardens, hikes in the woods and relaxing to a backyard view of the sun setting over the Ozark Mountains. Yeah...... "Just Life" is a good way to describe it.
