He works a job four days a week still and cuts wood to sell for a little extra money. He enjoys himself and without something to do I think he would be at a loss.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-2060786780928986862013-09-26T07:33:33.328-06:002013-09-26T07:33:33.328-06:00Red, I thought I had left a comment here, but I do...Red, I thought I had left a comment here, but I don't see it, so I guess it didn't go through.

I cleaned the gutters and unclogged one, only to have one left to do. The gutter guys apparently didn't do a very good job. I took all the necessary precautions, having my climbing belt n loops on - "just in case" - I kinda looked like a small monkey roaming around the lower roof, but am also wise enough to hire the young ones to do the upper roof. I guess my wise age has bound me to the lower roof, so you see Red, I have made a few age adjustments. I am feeling this post and also re-thinking more each time I look at a chore.
