I came off my bike today and thought I'd fractured a rib but they can't see any evidence of fracturing on the x-ray but either way it hurts a whole lot. Ouch! Be careful.

Good thing for you, because I don't think you can do anything about a fractured rib except walk around with it that way. I only remember coming off my bike twice, the first time I was side swiped by a car and the second I didn't negotiate a train track to well. The first time I had no helmet, but no injuries in both falls. I haven't crashed in a while. I've been avoiding it, because it hurts. A lot.

So that's the trick, eh? Avoid it. Knew there must be something I was doing wrong.

I'm currently helping my mom empty her house; she's moving to a flat close to my own home (since she's going to undergo furher cancer treatments, we thought it would be better for us not to be separated by 500 km).
It's a bittersweet thing to see this place being vacated... The house was built around 1915 and this is where mom and dad lived from 1983 until Alzheimer's took him away. Many memories between those wooden walls. Is it so long ago that we all moved in? Or that I left for school? Or that my sister passed away? In a movie, I would wander through the crates in a melancholy mood, with sepia colored light coming in through the windows.
Actually the sun is gorgeous and my mood is more like "Boy!!! We sure accumulate a lot of stuff over a lifetime!!!"

Especially considering that terrible illness which no one should have to be afflicted with. When I think of my own father's health problems prior to his death, I am filled with regret that I failed to have him move in with me after acquiring my apartment. I hope you have a lot of nice snapshots of the house! Mayve take a couple more for good measure.

I'm temporarily crashing with my parents post-divorce while I save up for the down payment on a condo.
My sibs are mostly in Lincoln or the Des Moines area. Our hometown of Denison, about 8,500, is mostly farming or the biggest pork packing plant this side of the state.
None of us are farmers nor do we want to be. Some of our aunts and uncles lived that lifestyle but not us. What meager 80 acres my parents have they rent out to a neighbor.
In short, there's nothing to keep any of us here, nor to retain this huge old 2 story farmhouse that they completely renovated.
It's beautiful and has been in the family well over 100 years; in fact, it's my dad's childhood home.
My family is grown. My youngest brother has 4 but is tethered to Lincoln because of his ex-wife and the kids, still small, there in Lincoln.
No one will take over Stonebrook, our home.
It's sad, but that's reality.
It was good for us growing up but our lives have lead us to The City with advanced degrees and careers.
Mom and Pop are in their 70's. Probably another 10 years or so and they'll be gone and we'll be selling the farm and house.
None of us wants to alter our paths, but we'll all be sad when we no longer have "home".

Never say never. Maybe it will be a retirement place.

You're right about that.
Never say never and never say always.

Yesterday I delivered this to a customer. I wonder if the Kirby estate , got any money for using this image?
