My hat is off to you with a new-found admiration atop my head. It does not surprise me that birds of a feather are finding our way back, now that the kids are getting older, to those dreams we once had as young couples/parents of a simpler, more fulfilling life composed of less stuff and more hard work. I was telling a friend just this evening how I have lost so much of what I once had--fresh eggs daily, fresh honey in the spring, and a few cucumbers and tomatoes in early summer. We shall keep each other company on this "new-old" journey.<BR/>Bayou WomanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-11990717417111962812008-12-10T22:14:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:14:00.000-05:00You have such a full and interesting life!

And because you are 'rediscovering old skills', I think your knowledge can help out those of us who are trying to learn those skills for the first time.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00081121933082347062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-86291000995641868542008-12-10T15:38:00.000-05:002008-12-10T15:38:00.000-05:00I can understand how you feel, Carol; it's hard to...I can understand how you feel, Carol; it's hard to change course or give up a dream. And yet, I'm lucky--I do have a good job, I live where I want, and I'm relatively healthy. So I'm not down about it, and there is a certain feel-good about knowing they really want me to stay. As for the other, it's on hold only. I'll keep doing as I have been, juggling it all and trying to maintain balance.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-21018301587136395852008-12-10T14:21:00.000-05:002008-12-10T14:21:00.000-05:00I share your frustration and disappointment at not...I share your frustration and disappointment at not being able to get "back to the land" at this time. <BR/>We have had to change similar plans after my Lupus prevented all the gardening and other outdoor work required after 10 years of our hard work building a nice farm. Now we are looking at selling about 80% of the land and building a MUCH smaller place that will allow us to grow and raise only what we need - not as income. Don't despair and don't give up on your dreams.BarbCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01317514875776927996noreply@blogger.com
