Offline Update: Staying Home in Alaska!

Sorry if I just gave you whiplash.  We've ultimately decided to stay in Alaska and buy our first and, hopefully, only house right here.  Once we decided on Maine, it all just became too traumatic and the numbers didn't crunch for us.  We're Alaskans!  And that's all there is to it.  I'm going to miss hanging out with the Amish though.  I've learned so much from reading about them.

In the meantime, I feel a little better each day, but it's not fast enough to suit me.  You know, I really thought having four children would teach me patience, but it appears the Good Lord figured I needed to know a little more about the subject.  I'm told these things can take months to heal up.

Now looking for our home sweet home in which to raise our rowdy offspring and lots of chickens too.

Miss writing my stories so much!  If there's one thing I've learned about this business, though, it's vital to be tenacious and necessary to be highly adaptable.  So, I will come back!  I will!

Have a gorgeous summer.
