I haven' t post in a long time. I have left the circus and moved on without him. This thread is about my observation of people I have met since my separation.
I was invited for supper tonight by a friend of my brother-in-law. Him and my sister also attended. All I knew of his past was that he is a construction contractor and his wife left him for someone else. He is from down south and has moved here to start over. Tomorrow is his birthday. he will be 67. The supper was for his birthday and also to say good bye to my sister and brother-in-law who will be leaving for Arizona Wednesday until the end of April. This gentlemen has come and helped me and my family to redo my roof a few weeks ago. He has also come to my sister to help build a garage last month. He is very nice and kind to all of us and fits in nicely with us. Now, back to tonight. I met my sister at her place and jumped in with them to go to **' s place. Here is what I saw when we entered the driveway: A tractor trailer' s box ( his kitchen and bed ), a prospector tent ( his shower/bucket ) a wood stove and a table with 5 lawn chairs, a shed that he calls his condo which is 12x20 and will be is new temporary home to replace the tent.. This man had a company worth millions and lost EVERYTHING. He came here with nothing and is starting from scratch at 67 years old !!!!! I couldn' t believe what I was seeing. And to top it off, he is happy. He loves it out there. He gave it all up and he is living life with his new friends which is us.
