Transition

A short time after Bornot died, his wife Joan and her family moved away and I heard little more about them. Sonya, who had been working in New York, returned then and asked me to stay and help her manage the farm and buildings. We worked together for a while at the nursery and greenhouse business but soon gave it up to take care of the more important work of building maintenance and repair. This, together with the lawn and garden work, kept us busy from then on. We renovated and painted Jack's old apartment and rented it out to a couple who lived there for several years. It has been occupied ever since by several tenants. but we did enlarge and improve it a great deal later.
