Guess who’s back? Back again. Me. Somehow, guilt has kept me from updating this blog. I just don’t feel like we are doing good enough or going fast enough for anyone. Although it’s just the two of us and Fruitycake, I know we need to do better. Better to me means being more organized. And better to me means catching up on things I’ve put off emotionally for the last eight years traveling. In some ways, RV travel for us was so good. And in some ways, I’ve realized I ran from a lot personally too! I once again feel like this house is saving my life.
In the past five months that we have been here, we’ve been able to get a bit more comfortable with an indoor bathroom. Although it still needs a lot of work, it’s progress.
And we have been able to get heat. It took three heating sources. But we did it.
And I have to say that everything in this house took work. Everything in here from a pen to a chair had to be carried up this path. Up the mountain. And I’m proud of us for that. I don’t like to say I’m proud of anything. But hey. I am.
We also made it thru the death of our beloved Brickle a week after we got here. I still wake up in a panic over missing him. And I still can’t talk about it. Maybe another day.
But I do feel this blog to be important to document our daily trials. It’s my goal for 2025 to have a blog every weekday for you. Because every day is important. Every day js a blessing. Even with trials. Maybe we can work on this house together? I hope so. I hope you’ll join me here.
We have even had visitors from Switzerland who traveled with goods for us. Necessities and warm clothes. We’ve had packages mailed to us of presents and clothes and we can’t thank you enough. We may not have survived physically without that.
So if you think this blog…Under The Crow…is important for 2025, we need your support! You can tip any amount here! We will send everyone a personal email to thank you!!! And promise you to work our hardest on this dream. To work on this forgotten house in Italy.
Joining our Patreon page also helps so much. For a membership fee is $10 a month, you’ll get a secret photo every day from the homestead. And behind the scenes takes too.
We thank you for your love. You got us here this year. And I think we all have some work to do on this house…and ourselves…together.
