“...what was in writing...”
Just standard boilerplate stuff in his will. And mine too, of course! ;)
I was not selling all of my worldly possessions, leaving my established gardens, orchard and greenhouse behind, and move to the middle of NOWHERE unless I was protected, financially.
And, he built a HUGE raised garden bed area for me, and we built a new greenhouse. And he lets me add whatever fruit or flower strikes my fancy. Even roses - which he hates due to the massive amounts of wild roses he has to mow out of the pastures all the time, LOL! :)
Not quite sure what HE gets out of the deal. ;)
Oh, that’s right - FOOD 24/7, (he’s a big guy!), to include a fresh pie once a week, housekeeping and landscaping, help with butchering & cleaning fish, lawn care, someone to boss around on home improvement projects who doesn’t sass back (much!) and someone to ‘hold down the fort’ and care for all the dogs and other critters when he goes off to Alaska or Texas, or Wyoming or Colorado or Canada or Up Nort’ to hunt and fish. He’s the busiest Retired Guy you’d ever want to meet! :)
10 years in; so far, so good! :)
That’s a good deal.....ya gotta get it written down otherwise ya end up writing songs like “...I never promised you a rose garden.”
I forgot to add.....the bride and ai just hit 29 yrs last month (not counting courtship years)
