I really enjoy the Yoders.

My wife eventually reads these comments, lets see how much trouble I can get in.

This is a first world paper/site so forgive me.

First we had 2 houses.

Then I had a barn.

Then she got horses and now she had a barn.

I built another barn …. And so it went on like that for 35 years or so with cabin, barns, inherited condo in Fl, and a beach house, etc …

Then I built our death house, it has 2 distinct floors, purposefully designed to be almost a separate but equal world.

The property already had a barn which I had built 5 years earlier. That was recently turned into the “man cave of man caves”, big TV, old family stuff or inherited stuff, wood stove etc .. and some exercise and weight equipment.

My wife has decided to work out. And she put a vacuum in the barn. Enough said.

(secretly, non of the above would have been possible without her !)
