Enjoyed your post about getting old and can seriously relate. Feel the pain of joints myself. Like you, also waiting on grandchildren, wondering if I will ever see them. Still chasing my dreams. Currently building a stone cabin in some Ozark-like land we own. Worked yesterday building walls on the second storey. Had to carry the rock and mud up a flight of stairs then lift it up on scaffold, then chest high into forms. Was so stiff today that I was unsure I could get out of bed this morning!
