Friends always kidded me for having the dream of living in the country and running a ranch. After all, I was a wife and mommy and police officer. We had a large home in the burbs, two cars in the driveway and I still dreamed of escaping. They laughed. Now, the kids are grown and gone…so is the house in the burbs and the cars in the drive…

I retired at 48. They’ve been replaced by 50 acres of land, a small house, a big barn, and two pick up trucks. No more kids at home have been replaced by dogs, cats, chickens, goats, cows and pigs. No electric bill, no water bill, no sewer bill, no noise, no traffic jams (other than cattle sleeping in the road) and property tax of $375 a YEAR! We are living our dream now for almost ten years. Never give up…even when people laugh at you.
Thank you Cindy! I’m going through that right now. Retired LE, and lost as hell after what CONvid did. Funny how the plans one makes do get tweaked quite often.
I’m so happy for you! Thank you for the uplifting comment!
