The fainting is another issue. Be sure you keep the cell phone charged even while traveling. And please do check in with us from time to time to let us know the bears and coons haven't carried you off.

I know it's a lovely place because I have seen some of your pictures and I know how good it is for you. Please take care of yourself. There are a lot of people who love you here.

LOL... Billye...I didn't lift many stones...neither of us did ...
(we used to in the past).

My son came over for a day, both to remove the large ones in the beginning and put to them back 8 wks later. He was a big help! The other stones my husband used a wheelbarrow to move around. I did carry the flagstones and help position those--they weren't large. My biggest problem now is bending alot. I can only do that for an hour, and I am goners. I did alot of sitting in a chair and supervising however! LOL I am sort of the "creative" consultant now.

My husband has good knees and can even kneel on them, so he does not bend. I have a nice cushion for him too.
