I'm simply surprised. Never met her, didn't care about her much, I'm just shocked

News like that are never expected so naturally there will be a shock when you hear them. Does anyone know why?

Not quite. I'm told she was abusing drugs though

I´d hate to be the one discovering such a thing..

Yeah, I feel bad for that person. She lives pretty far though...

Kobby, that's terrible. Even though you never met her, she's still family and that news has to be pretty disturbing. Sorry.

I'm more worried about how my mom is taking this

...Aw hells matey...That's going to be a hell of a shock to the family, whether there was "Circumstances" or not...

My hugest sympathies to you and your family... ...

We'll be fine.

Wow KOB, That's awful. I'd be worried about anyone that found something like that.

That must be awful, Kobby. Sympathy to you and your family.

haute, I’m so glad you’re recovered and able to tackle the office project, even though the brother didn’t get to visit and enjoy the results. Now it’s shiny for you to use! Your story of Sven made me smile. He sounds like my favorite males from several assorted species.

I know spring is here when the Grits men start washing cars in the driveway. This year I’m strong enough to be trusted with the hose. It was great fun to be back even in a limited capacity. Of course when I started toward the flower beds they were quick to chase me indoors. I’ll save that for another weekend!

That sure is a true sign of spring

Hmmm my hubby's name is Sven.....made me laugh you know!

KOB, so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I hope your mom is doing OK.

As for everyone else, I enjoyed your comments about Sven. It seems that he is a standout not only IRL, but also in a very brief, virtual discussion. I promise to take a pic of him (and the others) for you all to see. I think he and Kay are proper Skyrim horses - not the prehistoric freaks Beth put in Skyrim and ESO.

As some of you know there´s an issue with the mirocu farm about who´s gonna own what between my dad and his sister. It all resembles what I went through last year when I lost my job; it´s tough to go through but will turn out good once it´s settled.
Because of how every building is located, this split-up means that my dad is going to lose the workshop, tractor garage and every storage space but will keep the cottage and the woods. We´ll have to get some new storage and other things and it´s gonna cost us. But I guess we´ll manage in the end..

mirocu, it makes me sad to hear about your farm. Sorry you're losing some of those things and that dear old woodshop. I know you and your dad will make the best of it though.

KOB: Sorry to hear that man, best wishes.



I hate family disputes. Hopefully things go smoothly.

I’m sorry to hear about the split, mirocu. As you said I’m sure you and your dad will make the adjustments you need, but it’s still sad to see something you’d like to have stay the same slip into memories.

I’m glad you’ll get to keep enjoying the cottage and the woods. I hope you’ll have many more happy summers there.

Thanks for your support, guys

I don´t mean to whine about this, I know I´ve been talking a lot about it from time to time. But it is a big deal for us and part of it is just to talk about it.

While it truly is sad we´ll lose so much, we do get to keep the most important thing; the cottage. The woods means a lot too but the cottage is the holy grail for me. We´ve never lived there year-round since it´s just built for summer but my whole childhood has that place written all over it. I really, really love it

Starting again on a workshop can be the best thing that happened to it. Provided you get to keep the good tools and install them in the new layout.
