Life in New England alone and thriving heading towards my 70’s!
A woman “of a certain age”….oh never mind…..I’m getting freakin old! Loving life, stymied by the world we’re living, and laughing all the way down the road to the end!
I am endlessly optimistic (when I’m not being pessimistic) and way too excitable by just about everything.
My view of the world is thru blurry rose colored glasses. You know the drill: Like, subscribe, and SHARE! Thanks for stopping by!

The Great Elephant Migration - Newport, RI 2024
I really do understand ❤
so happy for you. gosh I remember when my husband was building our house. he had a wall built that was 30ft. long and said help me stand it up, mind you it was on the second floor. I said you have to be kidding me, he said no. so the two of us stood it up and I'm holding on then he gives me the warning, if the wind catches this wall don't try to hold it because it will pull you off with it, luckily, we did it. now that we are older, I'm wishing we had a smaller place. you will be all set up in no time ❤
Great memory! Thanks for sharing.
Go for it with the reviewing, i have found some good things from other you tubers and like everyone, you have to make a living :)
I am loving to see your house and your Sons garage and addition going up. It is getting closer. Does a different crew come in to do the inside? I am sure it is tense with all that’s going on but you are thoughtful worrying about being in the way. Your house is going to be so pretty and in a nice spot. Take care My Friend.
this crew is done once the windows are in. Then it will slow down as other individuals step in to do their thing.
Oh Margaret, I'm just seeing this. You should have texted me, I was around!
I will next time! lol
Margaret, at least you have your car to let out all steam and you feel better again. We are here to help you vent. There will come a day you will look back on this crazy time and you will be a much stronger person because of all that you endured. I know, because I went through this myself😁
Thanks for that
I could watch the construction for hours. I’m just as excited as if it were my own.
Hi Margaret…….you will be fine for sure. This is the hard part, but the reward will soon come and be well worth it CONGRATULATIONS on ten thousand subscribers 🎉🎊🎈💕. I just noticed it 👍💕
Thank you so much!
Library? Movie?
👍
Sometimes life can be not fun but this is your test of endurance (one of many I am afraid ) we all have them like it or not....tis life.....Bless You glad you have a 'getaway car' !!
Absolutely!
Hi margaret, i feel bad for you having to try to find a place to go. It must be so stressful. Do you ever wish you didn't sell your house and just make the trip everyday to watch your granddaughter. I know this shall pass but it's still a hard situation. Hope all goes well.
Not even once. The ease of being close by means everything to me. I have thought about this countless times, I wouldn’t go back if they gave me the old house free!
Good for you to get in your car and get out of the way. Living through Renovations is never easy. We did many Reno’s and rebuilds through our years. It’s bad enough between husband and wife and I can’t imagine if one of our mothers had lived through it with us. The last one was easy we renovated before moving into the home. All the best to all of you through this trying time.

Your son is blessed with such a loving ,supporting mom.Please try to chill.Go out for a bite or shopping when you need to disappear. Construction sucks😢,especially in tight quarters. By the way,where are you r fur babies???😮😮❤❤
They are both fine actually! I am amazed at how well they have adapted!
It sounds to me like Michael is just like his mother ~ a work alcoholic! Better he be that way rather than the opposite :-). I'll be praying for you all, & thanking God the weather is cooler so everyone's not sweating constantly! Peace
Unfortunately you are right.
This too shall pass. Like another subscriber said, find a coffee shop to hang out in for a while. Most have wifi & bathrooms if coffee hits you that way! Most don’t care if you hang out. Watch some videos of the devastation in other states from recent hurricanes and it will help put things into perspective. Michael will be away for the week & that will give everyone a reset.
All good points!
Oh Margaret, we love you so much. I absolutely understand.... love that you can talk to us about everything, nice and frustrating times. Love Denise. Please don't tax yourself to much.
You're the best!
Watching these two last videos back to back, the highs and lows of a new build, show ALL the emotions! I understand why you wouldn’t, but you were sitting a half mile from my house!! Next time stop in! My days are not exciting enough that you’d be intruding or interrupting me! 😂 Keep me in mind if you need an escape another time! ❤
I will. Would love you to visit the war zone I have going on here. Text me when you are available the next week or so. We are always around on Tues and Fri
@@MargaretbeingMargaret I’d love that! I’ll be in touch!
Margaret, you must be so excited to finally see your dream coming to fruition!! I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait to see the next update! ❤
Coffee shop Library Garden center Thrift store Restaurant Are there any of this close by?
I just discovered that the libraries around here are closed on Sundays! I will check in to the other ideas though. Thank you!
You’re welcome Margaret. I’m so happy you’re home will be finished soon. We all love your videos. Take care of yourself ❤️
Hi Margaret! You’re welcome to come visit me~ is Utah too far? Lol ❤
Oh how I wish! Utah is one of my FAVORITE places!
@@MargaretbeingMargaret there will always be a place here if you ever want to visit!
Build is progressing quickly. So happy for y'all. Joy is radiating from you. Looking forward to your next updates. Have an amazing week.
Thank you! You too!
You’re not homeless you seem to be wanted by your sisters, don’t understand why you can’t stay in the house somewhere and read a book and have your drinks and snacks there w you. At least you know you will have a beautiful home and retreat when it’s all done❤.
right now every room except the little ones is a construction zone. Not a lot of fun, but we are managing. lol. Admittedly not well, but we’re hanging in.
❤These past 2 videos are breaths of Fresh, Clean Air! After seeing the devastation down south & the fires in Wyoming, & praying around the clock .... watching your Home Sweet Home come to fruition is a real treat to see! Thank You for sharing! This was my Rx for winding down & having something to smile through.❤ Amazing progress! Those guys .... are Incredibly Impressive! You're getting great shots & giving much appreciated narration. It's so nice to see you have the luxury of something so wonderful, so new & to enjoy it each step of the way.❤
Great post. Thank you so much!
Prayers for all of you!!
Will the roof on the original house be re-shingled/changed to match the garage? Love watching how this is coming together!
I am not sure! lol
Will there be a breezeway connecting the two houses or will it just be a door between?
town bylaws called for direct connection. There is a door off to the side in both kitchens.
Margaret, it’s always stressful, but as you said, we will get through this. It’s also stressful when you will be living so close to your son & DIL. But, like toy said, I will have my own home. God bless you, and keep going and enjoy life. 👍🏻💕
Yes! Thank you!
Loving your build series, and very excited for you!
Glad to hear it!
Have fun setting in your car but I know how you feel. I would like to do that but I have to be around. Everything is a process. I’m having a home generator being put it and have to wait on the next part of the job just want it done fast. So I don’t know how you are doing it. But just think of the finish home.
I smile everytime I look out a window and see it!
I would say that Michael under pressure, still needs to treat you with respect, and always acknowledge just how much you do. Your a gem, and without all your help, they would find things so difficult. Sometimes it's just good to sit back and do things that you enjoy.
Great point!
Impressive contractor! I can’t believe how much they’ve already accomplished! Fingers crossed you’ll be in your new home soon.
I hope so too!
Margaret, you look so tired. Please take time out for yourself.
Loved watching that build , I was reaching out trying to help them hold that frame work up 😆 funny how the body reacts instinctively. Thanks for sharing it’s exciting. 🙌🌺
You and me both!
Not healthy for you or them to get too emeshed in the lives of your adult children.
Agree.
Bless you all. 🦋💗🙏
Very challenging to keep your opinions to yourself with adult children. Space is always helpful.
Local library??
Closed on Sundays!
I love listening to you just chatting,it’s like having a conversation with a friend.
Thank you so much.
I know you say you are fine but I really feel for you. Yes in a few months time this too shall be only a memory but please be kind to yourself Margaret. I truly understand your position...hugs
Thank you!
I think home renovations and builds are high stress no matter the family situation. You are handling it well!! You are inspiring! - Belinda
Thank you so much!
I really appreciate your honesty. Building/remodeling are incredibly stressful and I actually think all of you have done well. Won't it be wonderful when it's all done?!!
YES!
Builders are so amazing!!! These guys are doing a great and speedy job! Lots of respect for men (and women) who do this kind of work!! Will you be in by Christmas, do you think? I love following the progress.
I have no idea the time line. Just keeping my fingers crossed.
Is there a library near you? That was my go-to place to take my toddler grandson. It would be a good place for reading.❤
None that are open on Sundays unfortunately.
I honestly believe your sisters really don’t mind having you come to visit them when you need to escape. Maybe be proactive and equip your car with the necessity such as a coat, snacks, books and etc. Just keep repeating,” this to shall pass.” Hugs!
Great advise.
Wow!!! This is SO exciting Margaret. I'm loving these building videos, thank you so much for sharing.
Glad you like them!
Buy plywood and put up over the holes with screws. That way it is somewhat secure and weather proof? Hang in there!
Im watching a couple months behind, but have you tried Hannaford pick up? It. Is. The. Best! You do the shopping on the app pick a time and show up to pick it up, easy peasy NO WAITING 😊. I do that probably 3 times a month and the 4th I go in the store to go up and down the aisles. Give it a try!
We just finished building our brand new house a year ago. A few months after we moved in, we noticed that the paint began to peel on all the white door jams and doors. Clearly, the painter failed to prime or there was some sort of chemical reaction with the paint lacquer. Anyway, we have to move out for a month for the builder to replace all 13 doors, door jams and trim. I know it's a first world problem...but stressful and inconvenient, just the same. I'm sorry for you being in the crossfire of the tension. We've had the experience of living with (separate quarters) our kids. It was great to be with the 2 grands but there was at times, that undercurrent of tension, which isn't fun. Thus, we ended up peacefully, living apart, after we had downsized to move in the downstairs with them. ((Sigh)) You're right, this too, shall pass. I will be praying for you to have peace under pressure...and the kids as well. Hang in there!
Thanks so much.
Home building/renovations are stressful and rough. No matter how good the relationship is, stress gets to the best natured people during this time.
yeah. It is tough.
