Olde Tyme Acres Homestead

but we did manage to get most things done on my list. Grabbed all the boxes that were available, packed up the rest of my canned goods. Will do some more packing today, would like to get the walls washed down in some of the rooms, but I think that will have to wait till I get it more empty as is it becoming a surround of boxes in here.

Well were still waiting on in the insurance company to get someone to insur us. We should be hearing something on Monday. He was trying to get us farmers insurance.....I said it maybe near a year before we get any farm animals....why should I be paying for something that hasn't happened yet. So he's looking for homeowners insurance.....DUH!!! Like were made of $$$$.

It is a good thing Brian decided to wait another 2 weeks to close as this was an unexpected expense, having to pay for a year of homeowners insurance in advance. Probably looking at $600-700.

Sitting here looking around at all that has to be done....it's overwhelming, but I'm telling myself not to stress out, take a deep breath that it isn't so bad, take one step at a time. Got myself a list of things that need to be done (just so I don't forget anything).

It doesn't help that the kitchen faucet quit working the other day....so I go to the bathroom and draw my water from there (it's a inconvience, but atleast I have running water). Brian is suppose to look at it today, sure hoping we don't have to purchase a new one.....no more expenses! Only have 6 more days till we move....and yes I can do with out a kitchen faucet till then if it come to purchasing a new one.

Going to work at the orchard for a bit today, then I'd feel better if I got a few more boxes packed.

I wanted to thank you for stopping by The Hard Times Cafe and sharing your memories of your gandmother and how the depression effected her. I agree, these hard times that are to come could be a blessing in disguise if people will learn from them. I fear many have had it so easy that they will be blind sided when tough times mount and let it get the better of them. But I truly do feel that our country, at the least, our families could be better off by learning what is a necessity and what is a luxury. Thanks again for stopping by and if you have any other memories you'd like to share please feel free to. They do connect us to the past.
