    Default A farm for us

    Just wanted to let everyone know about our good fortune. Dottie/equus and I are soon to be moving to a 10½ acre farm. After talking to the current owner for the last couple of weeks,we will be taking over payments and the Farm is ours. This is the same farm where we got all that Flint we took to the Jamboree. Our horses are already there so all we have to do is move,and transfer utilities. Practically no change in our current expenses. Somebody, somewhere is looking out for us,and we are grateful!! Yes there is a lot of work that needs to be done,but isn't that what we were talking about just a while back. It's even kind of what Nativedude was talking about in his thread. Not really but sorta'... Anyway I'm just babbling now, so I'll shut up for now.

    Congrats. This is definitely a case where "buying the farm" is a good thing.

    I am now in the process of re-evaluating our friendship. That squirrel comment was downright cruel, unless you meant that you were going to fly him here first-class, ALIVE and IN GOOD HEALTH.

    When pondering the merits of our friendship, it's best that I think on a full stomach. Perhaps some apple, cherry, and blueberry jam would help.
