Not Pauline and Bill-they upsized. In August 2008, they moved from a 1,600-squarefoot urban condo to a 3,000-square-foot split-level house on a five-acre hobby farm forty miles east. Pauline committed to a one-hour commute to work and the couple took on a mortgage. Their friends thought they were crazy. No wonder. What Pauline and Bill knew about farm life could have been written on the head of a pin. But they did it anyway. They had to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBill had dementia, and Pauline knew she would need help down the road. They moved to be close to their daughter and her young family, who also lived on a farm. And that's when the fun began, as two aging city slickers learned how to bale hay, collect eggs from a chicken coop, and clean out horse stalls-skills they never dreamed they would develop in retirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith rollicking humour, a sense of adventure, and a degree of poignancy, Winging It describes Pauline Buck's ten years as a newbie farmer as she navigates her challenging role as a dementia caregiver and seeks purpose in the third act of her life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"This book will help so many to nurture others through grief but also enable their self-esteem through their own bouts of humour and uncertainty, disappointment and resolve.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Rick Antonson, author; former president and CEO, Tourism Vancouver \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Alzheimer Society of B.C.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pauline Buck\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0228866995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780228866992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tellwell Talent\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/22\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Pauline Buck","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44046932410623,"sku":"9780228866992","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e0265a1-c4c3-4ce2-ba23-e60464dd5ae6.jpg?v=1684987317","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winging-it-pauline-buck-9780228866992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
