The synopsis is I broke. I was without Husband for 18 days, I felt lost and had no control over the circumstances. The Ford no longer could make it up the hill, so I walked a mile everyday. Husband was working in Kansas, so money came in. We had food, water, warmth, and darkness.
My advice, don't move a homestead in the fall.
I may post about December as flashbacks.
With a New Year comes new adventures. I can not tell you what is to come, but I can tell you it will be interesting.

I'm so sorry. 2014 will be better for you. I see it in my crystal ball. <3 I admire what you are doing. Hang in there.
Happy New Year. Hope this year will be easier for you.
2014....
I'm almost afraid to see what it brings after this year. But the resolve is to make it better in any way that I can and let the things I can't control/help just float on by.
Sending you much peace and hopes for a happier new year.
Hope 2014 will bring lots of wonderful things. You're doing something most people would totally shy away from, I have the greatest admiration for you and really do believe you're one of those (only slightly annoying :) ) people who can do anything they take it into their heads to do. Let the boys support you as much as they can, too - you're the mum but there's no rule says they can't take some of the burden (which it sounds like they're willing to, so let them).
Keeping my fingers crossed that 2014 will be a better year for everyone... Happy New Year!!!
Phelan,
We all have moments, don't every feel embarrassed or shy. You have friends who care about you and your family. We want to make sure you're okay. 2014 will be a better year, I'm saying this because we all need wonderful things to happen in the new year.
Give the family a hug, and Happy New Year!!!
I would say congratulations are in order. You were strong enough to allow yourself to crash and burn. Sounds like that is just what you needed. How exciting that maybe some of the stuff that burned off needed to and that the you of 2014 will be more beautiful than ever!!! Happy New Year!!!
Thinking of you tonight, again...You have no ideal what I'm speaking of so I'll try to put into words what I've kept hidden in my heart for over 16 months now: In 2012 I lost my only daughter, she was 41, in Oct. 2013, I lost my only son, he was 38. Tonight I will try to count my blessings and not my heartaches. Just wanted you to know I count you as one of my blessings in life, I so enjoy your posts. Thank you!
Aunt D.
Phelan,I hope you and your family have a lovely 2014.We are all entitled to sink to the depths,because we are human,but we are able to rise again!Even though I don't respond to your posts often (or on any blogs I read)you are still in my thoughts.Keep on keeping on! :)
There is no need to feel embarrassed, we all at least once in our lives get to this point. It may take a while (or it may not) but you will be stronger for it.
I think anyone in your shoes would crack, and am amazed you only just did. I know that the new year will be better, I can feel it!
So enjoyed the pictures, your place looks so pretty!!
