I adore my IT hubby but he is not into all the physical stuff around our little homestead. It's not that he's not willing, he just doesn't have "the bug" that makes a person want to do all that stuff. I REALLY want to do "all that stuff" but am hindered by my lack of strength to do it all. Mine is more of an age issue at this point. (I used to be a formidably strong female specimen.) So...trying to choose what I CAN do myself, and what dreams I have to let go of...hard.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01988239648953332972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585365016348499079.post-51264567399750049182011-12-20T15:09:17.094-06:002011-12-20T15:09:17.094-06:00Well...

You are so right about plenty of things that require brain and not brawn! Although, he has plenty of both! As for the home baking? That is going to be the subject of a future post. :) Thank you so much for your comments!Glo @ Off The Grid at -30https://www.blogger.com/profile/00907488951800998013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4585365016348499079.post-87220516472259780062011-12-20T12:15:23.605-06:002011-12-20T12:15:23.605-06:00Wow!

There's not much modesty between us anymore! <br /><br />We cleared our site, built our cabin and outhouse, and made a laneway ourselves. I'm about your size. I may not have the physical strength of my hubby, but I can bring ideas such as using brains before braun. I never feel I'm contributing less - I always know he appreciates my being there. He lets me know my "lady" touches mean a lot too - he didn't have home baking (the man loves his brownies!) or quilts before he found me. There are plenty of things that need doing that don't require braun. Everyone pulls their weight here - even the dog pre-washes the dishes :) Take care. GloriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
