My passionate goal is to Retire My Husband, in the best possible way. He works at Brandon & Clark, Inc. and drives 83 miles each way to work every day.
They have treated him well and he will probably remain until he is retirement age. My hope is to earn enough money to take the pressure off as much as I can, while I run children and grandchildren around and volunteer at the church and for Aglow.
Jeff has talents and abilities that he simply doesn't have time to pursue because of his schedule. Working 10 hours and driving 3 hours each day doesn't leave a lot of time for anything else!
He is very artistic, and skilled at a number of arts that not many people engage in anymore. In particular, hand engraving. He is able to do beautiful scrollwork and decoration on guns, knives, lighters, etc. using antique push gravers that his grandfather bought at a swap-meet in 1934. He can do woodworking and can make furniture, trim quarter million dollar homes or just do a home remodeling project. He
can hand tool leather; he once re-created a lost side of a of western
saddle flap with the Indian head design left on the remaining side.
He
has been incredibly good to me, and I want to spend more time with him,
as well as free up his time to handcraft the many things he can make.
