Ouch, on the arthritis.
Thank you for your good wishes - I need all I can get. I had been thinking about it, and then when hubby was putting new flooring up in the attic he came across old correspondence to the man who built this house from the farmer who was maintaining the land while he was in the service.
One letter is from July of 1945 and it explains how the cucumber crop was so bad that after expenses for seeds and fertilizer the net was $64.64 for 139 bushels.
Finding that reminded me of what we were told by the son (who we boght the house from) had told us about his dad's produce stand that he had here for years. It also gave me the kick in the pants to do something other than sit on my butt most of the time.
So I'm going to give it a try myself, if it works, great, if it doesn't I can go look for a "real" job after school starts up again in September :) But at least I will spend the better part of the summer outside instead of in front a computer screen!
