Staycation!

Wikepedia says ,

A staycation (or stay-cation, or stacation,or staykation) is a neologism for a period of time in which an individual or family stays at home and relaxes at home or takes day trips from their home to area attractions. Staycations have achieved high popularity in the financial crisis of 2007–2009 in which unemployment levels and gas prices are high.[1][2] The term was added to the 2009 version of the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary.

For us it's been a blessing. We have gotten so much stuff done around this place. The field has been cleared, burnable trash has been bonfired. Goats have a better place to rest. The central A/C works in our house now. His garage has been wired and now we are just waiting on the electric company. It's been a long haul but this house is starting to look like a home.

Our land no longer looks like a mine field full of scrap metal, spare parts and old trash. I can't believe how badly the past owners took care of this place. What should you expect from a couple that had the govt watching them for weapon running, that won the money to buy this place from a lawsuit, then squandered the money on new cars and drugs instead of paying this place off so they lost it too the bank. Our neighbors were apparently over joyed to get rid of the trashtastic people who lived here.

It's really a great neighborhood, just outside the city limits. Quiet and peaceful. We love it here but also cannot wait to see what comes next after our 4 years here. The goal is to have this place fixed up so we can rent it out to some military officer and family.

Here's to hoping your summer is going great.
