 :-*Hello from INDIANA Kiss. I lived on a small farm until 8years ago and thought it was time to slow down, Wife and I moved to a rural suburb area, Golf Course, Neighbors, nice neighbor hood, all the homes well kept. After 2 years of Golfers in the back yard and Neighbors close enough to smell their %*#+ LOL Time to sell and move back to where we belonged. Finally after almost 3 years of showing our home, it sold. We had to be moved out in 30 days and we'd been looking at our present home, we made an offer and after a couple negotiations bought it. I have  elbow room now, not secluded. But there are 3 homes on our mile section, Government property across the road, don't have to worry bout any one moving there. We started our other place being self sufficient, now we're starting over. In a few years wife will be retired and hoping to have things in order to rely on our place to supply most of our needs. I am retired and have time to get things in order, would like to able to do it all at once. But since not too many want to do the things that our Grand Parents did, we'll have to read and study and put our place back to the times that you supply your needs. Also funding is every ones major problem, so we'll do it as we have the funds. Life is what you make of it, I'd rather have sweat and bruises as to set back and watch life pass by. My Name comes from being a coon hunter, I hunt at night and my ole dogs name is Timber.
