Quoting PinkhamPondHerm:

My parents came back from sunny Fla ths spring. I moved from house sitting their place back to my camp, in April.
Decided to have a garden near the camp. The only flat area was shaded with pine trees. No problem, cut them down and up into 4' and 6' lenghts. Left the stumps about 5' high. This was to hold the wire fencing to keep the goats out. Then it was a matter of laying the logs to make raised beds. After having dug the compost from last years goat pen enclousure and filling my new beds. A little sifted dirt was added to the top.
While I was making the beds the doe goats all had their kids.¿ Have had three die from being wet and cold and or being laid on. Then my mother had a heart attack and was in the hospital when they found cancer in her lungs and¿liver. After two weeks in there she suffered another heart attack and went into a comma. She was being kept alive on life support systems only. I took my father down and the Dr explained it to dad.¿Dad being hard of hearing did not understand all the Dr said. Then I told dad and he said "pull the plug". I told the Dr my mother did not wish to be kept alive on life supports systems. They took out her breathing tube and died 15 minutes later.
I was given the opporunity to take an early retirement from L.L. Bean's. I took the lump sum payment .After having my younger sister die the year before with a heart attack, I decided to leave while I could. Then the death of my mother came.
I re-placed my deck supports, finished fencing in the goats, raised some chicks, cut fire wood, borowed my brother's tractor to dig water bars and fix my road into camp. Stripped off the singles and re-placed them with new ones. Built a sugar shack to boil down the maple sap in the spring.
Another big event was getting divorced a couple of weeks ago. My wife left about 8 yrs ago and we would meet for a date once a month or so. Then she got her license to drive tractor trailers and wanted to be free to fool around on the road. Now¿ I'm lonely and looking for campanionship. I got so lonely I went back to L.L.Beans, last week¿as a seasonal employee for the Christmas season.
I actually met a young couple (24 & 30) that spent two weekends out here with me at camp. We were all naked the whole time and enjoyed each others company. Having bbq's and skinny dipping, and drinking beer around a campfire at night. Thenwe played¿indoor games at night.
