For the past week we’ve had someone cleaning out some accumulated junk from  our yard.  It probably would’ve taken a mere day if the guy had proper tools and no interruptions.

     The dogs suffered from shy bowels for a solid week.  Poor dears.  Neither one could go as long as the guy and his friend were in the yard working.  It was hysterical. 

     I am happy to say that the old Cushman buggy and the old mobility scooter are now gone.   The scooter couldn’t be fixed.  Unfortunately, this means we’re out a mobility scooter for The Curmudgeon.  The yard looks better.  The majority of the clutter is gone.

     The scooter was great for those days when The Curmudgeon had difficulty walking.  He could still take the dogs out and help out a bit.  Now there’s very little he can do to help since most days are bad days.

     With us soon paying for the removal of the old tub, and replacing it with a shower that The Curmudgeon can more easily use, the cost of a new scooter is prohibitive.  It sucks.  However, we will manage.

     Before anyone jumps in telling me to start asking others for money… We do not do chip ins or anything of the sort.  If we can’t do it ourselves, it will wait until we can.  We have always taken care of ourselves and never depended on anyone else.  We do not plan to change that. 

     You all have a good one!
