Hello out there!
Just thought I'd tell ya a little about myself since I decided on this blogspot. I don't think writing about myself is that great but we all have to start somewhere and I enjoy reading other blogs so here goes...
The reason why I am going by "goodbyes" is because at age 46 I seem to be saying that a LOT!
I say goodbye to my dear husband of 26 years as he goes to work in the day and goes to meetings at night. I say goodbye to my two oldest who are away at college again and again every few weeks. I'm saying goodbye to my third and 2nd oldest son who is getting married in a few weeks. Next, I have two High Schoolers and I say goodbye to my the gas in my car mostly. Then my youngest in a kindergartener so I say goodbye to 3 short hours before having to be back.
I grew up in a kid's neighborhood of 70 kids in 10 houses. We had a blast! But when I got older and much more reflective I dreamed of living out-living out anywhere where a person could have some privacy and quiet. So....I married a shy man and we moved as far out as we could with the convenience of stores not too far away. We bought some cows, inherited chickens, a cat and a dog. We're on 2 1/2 acres. We didn't think it was enough until we started working it and 1 acre could have been sufficient so hence the name of my blogspot. Now, we are sitting on the 2 1/2 acres with neighborhoods across the street and more coming in on all sides. So, we're not technically in the country anymore but I'm still country at heart.
