I'm glad you made it back home safe and sound. Spring has finally arrived for you if the ice is moving out. It will soon be time for your renters to move into the cabins and life begins again w/renters experiencing life on the lake.
I'm sorry around the reno challenges. It sounds like the builder was taking you for a lot of money. Obviously he didn't realize that you aren't a dumb woman and now has lost out on some of the work. Shame on him for trying to take advantage of your situation and good nature. I'm glad Ashley's boyfriend has been doing some of the work and I'm sure it looks great.
Congratulations to Ashley! You can't beat a job close to home and the rotations to other banks is a great way to meet new people and network. She'll do well in the banking industry.
Barb, you've got a busy spring ahead of you...just be sure you take some time out for yourself while tackling all of the activities you have planned. It won't hurt to take a day here or there to just relax by the lake.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
