Now that Posh Cottage is under new management (aka me), I will continue to improve on all that it has to offer, and fine tune my costumer service. This positive disposition in managing our vacation rental has indeed paid off in that I have now achieved the status of Super Host on our Airbnb platform!

“We respectfully request that the Planning Commission deny PRO2025-0119.”

For example, a kitchen sink leaking, or your garage door dislodging itself from the wall! Repairing these kinds of things cannot be put off as worse things can occur if they do!

March 4^th of this week, marked the one-year anniversary of Andy’s stroke.

The Airbnb was unharmed, but the outdoor grill took a hit.

“These boots are made for walking…”

When it’s all completed it will be spectacular and I can once again spend a quiet evening out under the Stars!

…As the sun sets on the year 2025, although I will not miss it, I do appreciate all the life lessons, the people and the experiences that have come my way.

A good friend of mine once made the statement that “when you try and catch two rabbits you usually don’t catch any”.

The pristine white crystals that blanketed the garden and land beyond, and the quietness of the early hour was peaceful. I was able to call to mind many happy memories and reflect on how grateful I am for the life I’ve lived and for the future that is yet to come.

With God by my side, nothing is insurmountable; and so begins my new journey of giving everything over to God and watching how things will grow and evolve in ways I could never have imagined.

With the funds now in the bank, demolition has begun this week.

I never imagined someone would actually drive a car into a house, let alone my house!  

These two experiences were lessons on empathy for me

ay a prayer for me… better yet say a prayer or two for Daisy… I really need my beloved four-legged companion by my side as I continue to navigate and take on each new challenge in these uncharted waters we call life.

od sent me an Angel in the form of my youngest daughter, Bella.

I’ve always been the one that needed him, now he needs me, that responsibility is scary!

In a nutshell, it puts the emphasis on community service while still remembering to take care of oneself.

Being sad for so long, truly sucks the life out of your soul and that certainly is not helpful to Andy, and it is not healthy for me. It is time I turn the corner and find my way back to me.

If I’ve learned anything with this experience, realities are anything but concrete and things can change on a dime with no warning. To survive, adaptation is of the utmost importance.
