Make a plan for mom and dad when they get older. We sort out details that will be more challenging if they are sick or have passed. I want to do the hard work now so we don't disagree when we grieve.
I hope for homegrown food, chickens, goats, bees.

I want to help you and Dad live long health lives together, with us. When you say "exchange with sons," do you mean the twins? Love that you refer to them as sons. And, i love the influence you bring into our lives, pushing us to think deeply, engage with art, and stretch our souls.
ReplyDeleteYay for adding art and photography to the list! Yay for regularly traveling!
I VALUE you - a lot! I think we have done some on this work with the Art Junket and your online photography.
I also want a community of artists like Art Junket in my life in five years! And, I like the idea of taking classes!
Interesting walks? What does that mean? The land is interesting?
WOW - love all the specifics about the land. That is my next goal, is to break down my dream into some specifics. The comment about laundry is awesome.
I want to do ALL those things you listed with our family.
LOVE YOU. Thank you for taking the time and care to write.
