Hi @Gary O' How's the weather in Oregon? We have sunshine

Actually
it was quite easy

They so love it there
and this little one is most likely to not see much of her teen years

We are so happy to give her and her sister the joys of nature

How's your little granddaughter doing? You posted such sweet photos of you both together.

Hi @Gary O' How's the weather in Oregon? We have sunshine

'In Oregon' depends on what side of the Cascade range and where

Our cabin is up near Crater Lake
4-6' of snow up there for 9 months of the year
I got a bit weary of that after living there for 6 years


Our son and his girls love it
Glad we deeded it to them

how ya going bro? - still remember followin ya life story in that cabin so vividly -wished I could have been there and then again NO! - someone should have made a film about it and made you some cash!! - what changes has your lad made up there to his inheritance if any?

ps: originally dave I think!

I don't think I would survive that long with snow!

Lovely that your son and the girls love the cabin.

Hey Dave

Tween fishing trips and trucking, he hasn't given much time to changes

He HAS put up a fence, of which I don't care for, but it does slow down the bears.......I guess

His place now
Not mine

you have disconnected from it though haven't you??

 

[Gary O']

you have disconnected from it though haven't you??

yeah

wife and I talked about it in depth before we deeded it over

but

he keeps touching bases before he does anything

of which we just advise

bottom line;
fire danger and safety

@Gary O' I guess, ol Pard, that after six years, adventure can turn into survival. You also have a loving and supportive Partner, who helps make life such a good experience. You both are Blessed to have each other!

Hi Gary,

So happy to hear your son is now enjoying your cabin with his girls. You've posted so many beautiful photos of your daily life there, I'm sure having to move on to where you are now is bittersweet.

Always thinking of you, and sending light and love your way.

Hello old friend! I surfed by and decided to check your diary thread and see how you're doing. Sorry about your eyesight and I hope you and the Mrs. are doing well.

 

[Meanderer]

Morning, @Gary O' I was thinking that your thread title was "Our Vision of Retirement"! I hope and pray that you and your Lady are coasting through life and happy as clams! - Jim

Do you use solar ?

 

[Gary O']

Do you use solar ?

No
My son may go solar up at the
but
At our age, we considered it too much of an investment
to realize a return

Here, un town, our elect is quite economic
