Each time I watch your family my heart is over filled with joy….and inspirational motivation! Each time I watch a your videos I spend time doing something productive. Today I sheared back all my hedges alongside one of my driveways and cleaned all the debris off an upstairs balcony. Such an awesome feeling! Tomorrow I am doing the hedges on the opposite side of the driveway ….my driveway is long but it is starting to look nice. If My weather permits I plan on pressure washing both driveways and all the walkways throughout. I just love your channel and reading all the beautiful comments from around the world! Thank you !

I had to stop the video when I heard one of the suggestions to name the rock. Rock Of Ages.... Suddenly on this Sunday morning I started to sing this song of Rock of ages. God bless you Amy for suggesting this name. I can't wait to see how the Lord uses this land to renew spirits that have been so still these last 2 years.

A very wonderful idea for sure...shower outside is wonderful in the hot sunny day. I had many cousins and we were all together wit one of our aunts. And we were in her summer house right in front of the beach 🏖 and it was so wonderful coming from the salty sand and taking our shower outside l....cooling off and washing off the sand...lunch and a nap to go to beach again later in the afternoon. And Portugal is terrible hot and humid in the summer...you will certainly feel better in an outside shower... your kids (if more ahead) will have fun playing out in your wonderful surroundings 🥰🤗💝 and another sharing...I loved watching your cutest boy’s face...always so attentive and learning quickly...and so happy having fun in all😊👦 then watching your challenge ...you will soon fine a solution 👍😎

Well... Thank you! I love your positive thinking. The only time you said you were unluky, you just turned it arround almost so fast as Crusoe is growing. Your boy is so sweet 🥰 You do have a challenge there, with the water... But, maybe it is for the best, if it needs some digging, it's better to do it now then later when everything is clean and beautiful. I'm already waiting for next week's video. 🙂

It's so exciting to see all the new things you are discovering each week, and the ideas for new plans that it gives you, but I had to figuratively peel myself off the ceiling when that disaster music played at the end of the shower segment! *Eek! * I do hope that the plumber came super quick and that whatever it was that caused the water to stop was a simple and fast fix! x

Hi Kimberley! Great to hear from you, thanks for watching friend. Plot spoiler for next Sunday… the plumber STILL has not been… we are making a plan! Fingers crossed!! 🙏❤️👍

Watching you amid the mud reminded me of building our outdoor shower when we lived in Costa Rica. Best thing about it was the birds perching on the top of the shower, pecking at their reflection on the chrome fittings on the shower head, while looking for a mate. Good luck!

[@TheNewbys]

Ahh that sounds magical PJ! Hopefully we will have some wild visitors of our own one day and will enjoy many blissful bath times under the vines ❤️
