Well what do you know...…. I looked up Latestarter's house on Zillow and it is for sale now. It has been painted, new flooring and it looks real nice. Joe's daughter in law is a sharp gal, I suspect the fixing up is her doing. Hope the link works.

I thought she was pretty on top of things too, she was very nice when I met her and was looking up all kinds of legal things about wills in Texas and such. What a pleasant change they have made to the house, hope it sells quickly for them .
I just got the inside view to open ...what a change. Doesn't look like the same place!what a nice job they did .

Looks very nice, I don't know what property goes for there but that looks pretty affordable.
Makes me that isn't there to enjoy it.

Jan, when my Dad had his ankle replaced most of us kids lined up to assist. One step sister the first week, the other step sister the second week, my older sister the third week, DD1 and I went for the 4th week. He didn't really need us when we arrived though he was happy enough to have us there. We went to the grocery store, he drove. Did the shopping, I pushed the cart.

I never met Joe in person, but I am in wholehearted agreement with you that it is sad that he isn't there to continue to enjoy what he had finally "retired to". Looks to be a fair price for the area? Oh well, maybe some younger "back to the land" type of family will buy it and be able to make it into a productive homestead for their family.

@Bruce, there aren't any family near here except my son to do anything for me and with the problems with my parents, the one brother is spending the next 3-4 months staying in NH with them instead of his own place over in NY state. Since I only have one son, I don't expect him to carry all the "burden" and if I go into the rehab for the first 2-3 weeks, ought to be able to have a handle on what I can and can't manage. The problem with mine is the replacement, and the fusion of the other joint, that will necessitate total "no weight bearing" on the ankle for the initial 8 weeks. If I understand it correctly, if it was just the ankle replacement, I would be up and doing rehab and all, in the same manner as people who have their knees replaced. I have considered just that, but it makes no sense if there is a good chance that I would have to have the other joint fused in a year or two.
Add to that is that my son will just be getting back to work when I go in for mine, and he needs to be able to concentrate on work, and our cattle once he is back to "normal". It is going to take some time for him to regain some of his strength and mobility as he says now that the leg is pretty weak from not being able to do any weight bearing up to now.

Yeah, me too. I still keep his last text to me on my phone. His home is a nice place, that is a good price for it. It does have a deep creek with steep sides, that cuts it in two. Surprisingly, Joe never crossed the creek to ramble around on the back side of his property, which is heavily wooded. At first he said because of snakes in the creek, then in winter he said it was too steep and deep. Maybe then he was realizing that something was wrong? It seems like I should be able to call him and invite him over.

Jan, you know your son has friends upon whom he can call for help. As moms we worry & try to resolve all. Settle in with this as he sure needed you to "do it all" when he was laid up. Your turn to get a fix -- take it. It's hard when "only" the two of you. It's kind of the same here. DD will do "what she needs" to help but it's a stress on time. DS is pretty "useless" to me, although he is capable and talented -- we have our relationship & behavioral issues!! I sure understand all the things that need done & when, where, how, why. He will get cows & chickens fed.

Enjoy our continuing mild weather. We both know there will be something harsh coming in next 60 days!! I hate cold & snow. 60 days puts us into first of March and Spring is next! Of course, we have had -- in this area -- some of our heaviest snow storms the first week of March!! Only some light, 24 hrs gone, snow in last 2 yrs. Maybe 2-4 " previous 5 yrs. We are over due I'm afraid....even tho this is not a big snow area, coastal & all.
