My Man is officially unemployed. You could say that he is retired. He is in the 
process of dissolving his partnership with R&M Masonry Construction. It is a very great thing. Dan is a man who thinks things through very carefully before he says anything to his wife, because she will drive him nuts with questions like but why? We will go broke!! We can't afford Jessica's tuition! What if my car breaks down?
His solution to this problem in our marriage is to be prepared. So one day , about a year ago now, he said out-of-the blue, "Mary. I've been watching our bank account. I figure that if I quit work, we can easily live on your salary". So I looked at him and said. "OH REALLY!!!!. How NICE!!!".
Actually, I couldn't be happier. I'm happy for me. I get a hot cup of coffee brought to me every morning. I come home from school with supper made. Tonight we had pork chops on the grill, mashed potatoes & a fresh salad.
For the last few days he has happily been collecting box elder sap three times a day and nearly has 5 gallons. He will boil it away & wind up with a pint of syrup. He made 5 pints of wild grape jelly just 4 days ago. He caught enough fish this winter that we ate freshly caught fish 3 Xs per week on several occasions.
He has been clipping coupons. He gets great deals on things such as salmon... like two for one. And he marinates it in sesame/ ginger, dribbles honey over the top & grills it.
Dan is proud of himself & happy & I am ok with it all and getting a little pudgy.
