Especially:
I was just telling my wife today, that I wish we could just pick up and move to our rural dream home. Right now.
My husband and I both keep checking on the internet for places to retreat to - somewhere out in the country - like a cabin or small house. Somewhere with a smaller population. We can't afford it right now anyway, but now that we have a grandbaby, and another on the way, we too have both felt the need to find an escape. Somewhere where our family will be safe.
I decided not to wait. I bought the ranch and I live in an RV in town during the week for work. I drive home on the weekends. Quite pleasant and very doable.
Windflier, would you make sure I am on the Texas ping list? Thanks.
