Building a Small RV Park - Year 2

["EZ"]

Wow. That's a shame. I hate that you had to waste so much time only to get that answer.

Well since you don’t have long stay guests, you can advertise as the place to unplug and unwind for a spell - or B.Y.O.I. (Bring your own internet).

 

[John&Andrea]

I have been thinking the same. Some times we need to disconnect. Connect with nature in NC.

Decided to snub the Internet gods and make pizza instead! I bought a 16" pizza stone last week and we tossed it on the grill, cranked it up to 550* and let it heat up for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, I made up 5 small "mini pizzas". Tossed them on for 10 minutes, and then handed them out to Trish and my mother-in-law.

They came out great! I don't think I'll do the mini pizza thing again, unless someone wants a special pizza that has different (or less) toppings on it than the others.

So today an inevitable end came to a situation that we've been dealing with for awhile. Turns out these individual pizza's were one of my mother-n-laws last meals. Well, last that she really enjoyed anyway.

On Mothers Day, I bought both Trish and Tat (her mom) a bouquet of flowers. It was the first time in may years that anyone bought her flowers, and she was all over me with thanks. Hard to understand her as she had recently had a stroke and her speech was very bad. But it made an old lady feel young again.

We took her to a place that served French Toast that she absolutely loved. And bacon too! Lord she loved that bacon! And then that night I made mini pizza's and she chalked that day up as being a great one!

Two days later she got Covid. It didn't kill her, but it took away her will to live. And today, with Trish beside her, she left this world. It's sad, but it was time, and she had made the decision to go.

Who knew that those silly little pizza's were going to become so important in an old lady's life? But they were, and I'm glad I got a chance to make her life just a little bit better.

Go do something nice for your wife, your kids, or maybe even your mother-n-law. Life is short, and when they're gone, your chances to say anything will be gone forever.

@Jim I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. I believe your small pizzas have a new name - Tat's pizzas and every time you make one, you will be celebrating her life knowing how much she enjoyed them before she moved on.

I echo everyone's sentiments and condolences, Jim. And your advice is so appropriate for all of us:
"Go do something nice for your wife, your kids, or maybe even your mother-n-law. Life is short, and when they're gone, your chances to say anything will be gone forever."

God Bless.

Hey, I like that! Thank you, Ard!

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad in 2005 and Mom on 2013. I miss them every day. Andrea’s Mom visited with us last week, first trip she has taken in years. We did not think she would stay all week but she did. We enjoyed having her.

I don't really have the words to express how sorry I am for you and your family's loss. I can only say that I'm glad she was surrounded by such a loving, caring family till the end. Thoughts and prayers to you all.

 

[Old Bubblehead]

Very sorry for your loss! Thoughts and prayers for you guys. It's good that Trish got to share a happy day with her before she passed, I hope it makes things a bit easier for you both as you grieve. I know Trish greatly appreciates all you did to show her love and bring her joy.

 

[purring along]

Jim i have been giving the computer a break for some time, to catch up on much needed repairs at home.Very sorry to hear of the loss to your family.When you hear the saying family first,it's not just a saying but the truth.Prayers sent to you and family.

 

[Jabber Jaw]

Jim, Prayers go out to you & your family!
And "Tat's" pizzas, going forward, would be very appropriate!
God Bless!

I'm very sad for your wife and you. She went out almost on her own terms, and had glorious moments of joy just before, thanks to both of you. Bless her way to heaven.
