Happy and relieved to see you posting once again. You're an inspiration dealing with all of those concerns and not letting it overwhelm you to the point of complete withdrawal.

This aging process sure brings with it a host of stuff that while younger and watching others go through it, we somehow remain convinced our lives will be immune from it all.

We learn and pick up nuances from posts such as yours how to go about handling similar challenges when they ultimately come along to smack us upside the head, to-wit: "I remember a forum post from a lady dealing with caring for a disabled husband and running a farm coming to the crossroads of deciding she had to give up the farming life and pass the farm on to other purposes, handling that decision with grace and dignity." Surely I can rise to that strength myself.

Kudos and admiration to you Netwit.

Glad to see you posting again, Netwit!

Yeah, lumber prices are crazy high. Here’s one article about it: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/briti...s-bc-1.5957406
