Indeed. And stories for a future book co-written w/ your wife. Best of luck.

We just put our farm up for sale. Hopefully someone is coming to look in a
couple weeks, but we'll see. We want to start over nearby w/ LESS. We want
less house & less land (we built an addition for a live-in 24/7 client who
just moved out after 4 years  - 36 acres too many), less fruit trees to
maintain as we age, and less dependency on AEP (elec. co.). To achieve that
we aim to do a solar grid-tie on a small home. Finally, the end result will
be LESS mortgage--a small one w/ a small payment that will be paid off long
before we're feeble & failing.

Live and learn.

Change is in the air for many of us on the list.
