Getting back to the main house..I did not see anyone around but knew that Sarah bless her heart was doing something pertaining to the farm..I walked into the bright sunny kitchen..and not hearing anything got a biscuit out of the steamer..and wonder where everyone was..upon hearing some noise coming from the back of the house..I called out..
"Sarah are you here".."yep..I'm here..come on in here"..I walked towards her voice..and found her with lot of older furniture stored in the extra bedroom.."I figure if you did not have a rug your more n welcome to use thissin'..it was made for the living room by a bunch of ladies at the fair..and I won it years ago..and since I did not need it at the time..thought I would put it up for safe keepin'..now if you don't have any carpet of any kind..and speck you don't..thought I would check this out and see that it was still in good condition..and your more n welcome to use it ..or for that fact just keep it"..
I was just delighted..it had beautiful colors in it..a lot of blues..and pale creams..and just lovely.."oh Sarah it is simply beautiful..if your sure you have no need for it I would love to use it..and I promise I will take very good care of it" ..I was set.. now..this is all I needed to set the house off and it would go with all I had too!!"..
I finally ran into the boys right after lunch..and had to nearly hog tie them myself to get them to go with me to the house..and unload and try to get what I could done before dark..it was the last of August..and school would soon be starting..and I had to use the time I had with the boys to get all done now..and get that truck back to the rental people..
I worked into the night..and although I did not have a complete house full of furniture..I had enough to make it cozy and comfortable..and just loved it..I had curtains..and in putting everything where I wanted it..and getting all the little things I had brought to set around..it was looking like a home..I sat and admired it all..and for the first time in a long time I was happy and content..and really loved the little house..I could not believe my good luck..and the love from all..the men were always polite..and never said or made any action to the contrary..and after only a few days now I was getting to understand these quiet men with hearts of gold..and the thoughtfulness for others..Sarah sure did have a group of different men around and I could not find a one I did not like..
The next morning I had the twins to take the rental truck back..Pete would follow and this would give me the time I needed to finish in the house a few things..and then I was going to help Sarah with the books..I had been a CPA for some time now..and knew that I could always or usually had not fear of not finding a job with the education I had..but one never knew how life could deal out jobs..so I was glad that Sarah had offered..and this would be nice not having to drive so far each day into town..it took more than an hour to go from town to here...and that both ways was a lot of travel time..and especially in the winter months..I was sure it could be dangerous..and I had nothing but a little small car..that I had pulled out here with me..no four wheel drive like most had that I here that I could see..
I settled down to a nice table and chair and good sun light to a stack of books..and papers..now this will be a challenge I knew..but in time I would have it all straightened out..now Sarah was good about keeping records..and would write all down..but not always day to day..so you really had to hunt and pick and find before making any ledger straight..and correct..it was into a couple weeks now and I was getting things in order and most of all Sarah was pleased that she did not have to hunt for every recept all the time..when calling to reorder..or complain..things were turning out just fine..and I was proud that I had done well and made Sarah happy most of all
The boys had started school..and with Pete picking them up are taking them to school if going in that direction .. everyone knew he was okay and a good kid..and they excepted the boys with no problem..and they loved it here already saying they never wanted to leave..
Now it has been nearly three years..my life has been in order for the first time in my turbulent life..and I am happy and most of all feel for the first time this is home..I often can remember that Sarah said once you get use to the place you will never want to leave..she knew...this would be my home...and she was right..
The boys have been out of school now for a year or so..and in doing so they choose to work for Pete..they are his side kicks..and when you see one you usually see three..they have been his right hand..and he is pleased with all the knowledge they have picked up so quickly..above all they like what they are doing..and now they are trying to get on with their own lives..and will live here on the farm as well..Jason is seeing some little nice girl..and although he says he is not serious..I bet he is..how could he not be..she is a doll..and Richard..he wants to continue to work with the animals..studying to become a vet..and should be getting his license for that soon..so the boys are grown..happy..and most of all call this home now as I do..and after all this time..I met some one.. of all people..White Larry..he is kind considerate..and loving..and we are to be married in the coming spring..and I know that God sent me here to find myself..and see that my new life is worth working for and living for..Sarah she is still my Queen in so many ways..and will continue to work and do as much as she can..until she no longer is able health wise..I can and do about as much as she does now days..and cook for the "gents" when need be giving Sarah a much needed rest..this is life..what a wonderful feeling to be happy..
