It just screams peace and serenity (although, to you, it probably also screams works and lots of money!) After Bill died, the three things which were hardest for me to let go of were his car, his bicycle and his grill (of all things!). Those things were true symbols of him and our life together. I so empathize with the tender feelings as you watched the truck go down the driveway for the last time.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408463925646609263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-64584428360247430952022-12-14T04:31:16.230-08:002022-12-14T04:31:16.230-08:00Those views at your farm are just gorgeous!

You made me laugh with your comment "that's not a scarecrow, that's me in my work clothes," 😂😂 I know it must have been hard to let go of David's truck, but it's really good that it went to a new home where it can be used. You will always have the memories, and now it's not just rusting and sad. Great job on making October into one post!

I had to let my 89 Jeep Comanche pickup go when we hit the road fulltime back in 2011. It was so handy for so many chores. Since we bought our house in 2016, I've been looking for another little truck but it seems now the ones that I've found for sale are gold plated. So I'm still using my ever faithful Honda Element for my carry all items. It's so handy and worth more to me even if it's not gold plated. ;c)Paul and Marti Dahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332654035718777839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-22401189822035854432022-12-12T20:44:32.359-08:002022-12-12T20:44:32.359-08:00I love the view of the farm from the upstairs porc...I love the view of the farm from the upstairs porch. I think that is my favorite part of the house. Walking around with you seeing the Halloween decorations was fun. The decoration with the person squished under the pallet is horrifying. The view from Carter's Mountain is lovely! I understand you feeling sad about the truck. I cried when I gave up my teal Windstar van.

I’m still LOL at the “Man In the Pallet”, an image I will probably never forget!! <br /><br />Prior to seeing this creation, I was always amused at the one where a riding mower was run over a skeleton and the bones were scattered out the deck chute onto the lawn. <br /><br />People are soooo creative. I love it!<br /><br />It’s indeed unfortunate that as we get older, everything becomes more expensive as our income lessens and savings dwindles. Parting with, out of necessity, possessions which have become dear to us is always stressful and especially sad. And so it goes……we deal with it, and life goes on. In the end, it’s a summary of cliches. No?<br /><br />I remember the S-10 from my only visit, and recall how much you two enjoyed its being an integral part of the farm. It might be gone, but the memories will always remain, eh?<br /><br />Anyhoo, looking forward to your November entry….<br />Jodynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-24638730571332917252022-12-12T08:13:41.801-08:002022-12-12T08:13:41.801-08:00Florida!
