Homestead mailing list

[Lisa Kae Van Meter Perry <lisakvperry AT gmail.com>]

See you on facebook, Bev.

I miss the old homestead list as well, and
have always felt as you do know. I'm not a 'homesteader' per se, just
a person who lives in the country who is trying to get by and do a
little more for ourselves with each passing year. Some years we make
progress, others we don't (or may even back slide), but I still feel
that living in the country and trying to do for yourself is the way to go,
now more than ever.
