When we bought Rose Cottage (Before)
Before
I am stunned to realize that we have been living at 15 Rose Street for two years today God has been incredibly gracious to us. Bruce still teaches remote at Tidewater Community College. He also works full time supporting the Navy as an instructional designer, remote. Each weekday morning he say, "Bye. I am going to work. I hope the traffic isn't too bad," white walking up the stairs.
After
I have been able to stay home and work on Rose Cottage. I have excellent medical care outside the Navy system for the first time in 35 years.
Do you wonder what I do all day? I don't worry if I can't sleep, because I don't need to work in the morning. I plan meals, cook dinner, clean, garden, wash, bake, and iron. I read a lot. I'm fascinated with genealogy.
My father and his wife live 3 miles away. We visit with them and help them with computer issues or repairs that are too much for them.
Bruce and I go on adventures most weekends. We take little drives to see a corner of Connecticut we have not been to before. Recent outings include a trip to a bridge open only to pedestrian traffic, to the beach where I used to play when I was little, and to an old Connecticut mill town which has become a ghost town.
