I don't know if anyone will remember me or not. I used to be a member
of this list a dozen years or more ago. Gene just helped me find it
again. *blows kisses Gene's way*
I just went through the last month's archives and I am so glad to see
some old faces. Dan Bowen, you are still here! Rob, my last memory is
you were in South America, are you still? BEVVIE!!!!- I am so glad
to see you here still, I last remember you guiding your kids from home
schooling to public school (or was it vice versa?) and not feeling
terribly well. I miss Tvo too. And where did "Sojourner" end up, does
anyone know? She was building her house, if I remember correctly.
When you last saw me, my then-husband and I were doing race horses in
Central Virginia. Not really homesteading, not really farming, but a
mix of animal husbandry and as much sustainable living as I could
manage.
I divorced my ex a while ago, and sold that farm. I settled on a
little place of my own, got into raising sheep and training Border
Collies, and let my horse habit dwindle down to a few old loved ones
and my kids' ponies.
I remarried about six years ago to a real sweetheart.. Retired Navy, a
long time scientist for the govt (NIST), I have been breaking him into
country life slowly. Now, he is retiring and we are getting ready to
sell up here and move to someplace bigger so my sheep habit/off grid/
sustainable life style dreams can become more realized. (Discussions
and suggestions appreciated!)
I am really glad to have found my way back to this community.
With respect,
Moon
PS...deep dish saucy sausage pizzas are FABULOUS baked in a deep cast
iron, preheated fry pan. : )
