I've blogged about a couple major themes: debt reduction and the need to build cash reserves. One of my minor themes is that of a foster/adoptive parent. Both of our adoptive sons have special needs. You can read that as "they are difficult to parent."
Spring has sprung in Michigan. We like to go outside and job around, and do yard work, and generally enjoy ourselves. That is difficult with two boys with special needs when your yard has no fence. they tend to run away, In fact, I felt like a prisoner in my own home last summer because we couldn't take them out.
So, DW and I have decided that we will need to purchase and erect a fence for a play yard this spring. Of course, that will necessitate a side track from other goals. But, we need this fence for our own mental health. And, of course, we receive payments for care, and I think this fits nicely.
So, we begin researching fencing options. Something sturdy, and as attractive as is reasonable, and something that will not break the bank.
As always, I will keep you all posted on our progress.

Definitely an expense worth-while, all the way around! Enjoy your spring weather in Michigan, as a fellow Midwesterner in IL who has wondered where spring went - we went right to summer! Though it looks like spring migh tbe here today (wet and chilly!)

This spending for you will raise the quality of life for the whole family - it's a good thing. Hopefully your fencing can go up to the house so the back door opens into the fenced area. That was always my dream & I wish we had done it. That darting phase lasted for a LONG time.
