The more I tried to help my husband organize the tools and things from the tractor barn, the more insistant he became that he could do it himself. I encouraged him to place every thing he wanted to take into one corner so we could box them up, and I did place several things there as a starter. Then the next day he would move everything, and become angry with me if I mentioned it. It did end up with the crew loading the container grabbing the few things we pointed to, so much of what he had wanted was left for the new owners. At this point it is just as well, He would have tried to use those power tools here. Even with what did come caused me to be fearful that he might use them while I was out shopping etc. so I hid many things. I was happy that he did dismantle his table saw, I figured he would never get it put back together-- Now he has lost all incentive to do any projects. But once or twice a day he will ask me what he can do to help--I'm having trouble finding things that he can actually do, that I don't need to clean up afterwards. He was always my handyman--I really miss that too.<br>DiSpousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830953.post-30250303785465149242008-05-28T00:50:00.000-04:002008-05-28T00:50:00.000-04:00Daddy was the same way.

I think the hardest thing for him to accept was not doing laundry anymore. Probably because of him working in the laundry in the Navy. He was always so good at it, then he could not get his thoughts together enough to sort the clothes. Such simple things you do not appreciate until they are gone.Paulinenoreply@blogger.com
