Thank you , Lynn.  I'm starting to think maybe I should look into buying a 
small , inexpensive house, in town, for her .  I can then build and live in a 
tiny "shack", on a plot of wild land.  That way she could come and visit (and 
help) whenever she wanted, and I could essentially live buck*ss 
wild.......bobford
