We live in an old house, from a history of the county the original build was in the early 1800’s. We’ve had a couple people say the house is haunted, I’ve said if it is the ghosts like us. From the first days in our old house I felt like that place was cursed and since we’ve been at the new house there have been several lucky breaks. For example when I had been looking for a utility vehicle for weeks and one day I looked up from the kitchen and saw what I was looking for sale across the street, it worked out perfectly. Now in the middle of Summer when the grass was getting tall, my mower broke down. Things looked bad until we called the landscaper that used to mow at this property and he offered to come out the same day. Then we found a tractor and equipment repair shop three doors down the street, both are veteran owned. The landscaper got our place looking great and he charged the same price as the guy who mowed our old lawn once, even though this is at least 5 times the size. I was talking to him afterwards and he’s a fellow infantryman and we were in Iraq at the same time. We still have to talk to the repair shop, but I have faith everything will work out. After that I felt a lot better and we had a great weekend. The princess and I spent a lot of time swimming, she finally understood how to have fun in the water and even asked for me to put her floaties on. I also got some building done on an umbrella for extra shade around the pool and a power rack, basically a squat rack with pull up and dip bars. My pole barn gym has just about everything I ever wanted.
