this brings up a interesting question, for those going it alone, what is the long term plans as you get older and age starts becoming a factor?

Who says age isn't a factor already?!

Seriously though

my house is small and one story. I intend to be like all the old folks Around here. You just keep going. 

I used to have an old friend Jimmy. He was 94 when he died. He still had a garden and put up most of his own food. He had given up his cows a few years before. 

My hope would be that I could afford to pay a young person to do the jobs that I won't be able to do. 

Maybe one of my grand children would like to carry on here

I hear ya sister! But I'm talking about when we are in our 70's and 80's, not 40's and 50's 

By that time 80 will be the new 50

I'm actually pretty amazed

at the amount of hard work that I can do at this point I. My life.
