FOWC with Fandango — Shelter
That’s kind of how I think of my house, these days. The roof doesn’t leak and the basement doesn’t flood. The heating system still works and I have a functional kitchen.
I even have some flowers in my wild garden.
I know it’s not going to be my personal mansion and I do not set forth from it thinking of it as the backstage area to the forestage of Life. This place is pretty much all of life and we could be doing a whole lot worse.
Today, it’s where we live, where we sleep and eat, and where we try endlessly to keep it from falling down faster than we can shore it up.
We have some lottery tickets. I could look them up, see if we got rich and I don’t know it yet. But when asked these days what we’d do with the money, I think ” A simple, bright house without steps and cleaning people to come in once a week and do the basic stuff.
And a cook.
I really want that cook!
What some people have done is take in student boarders. I thought if I had a spare room I’d take in a student of some chef school and they could practice their cooking on us.

It works both ways – you provide the shelter and they do odd jobs and some excellent cooking. 😉

Well, we didn’t win, so it’s still in the “dreaming” stage!
