I look forward to your experiences as a reminder of what I left behind and what is here, now. I learned how much work the simple life requires after the 13 yrs on the farm.

The simplicity, independence, and hard honest work are very appealing. Technology razzle-dazzles, but it makes life more complicated and hectic for some reason. I look forward to hearing about your upcoming life adventures. DH and I were just talking tonight about the Inggalls’ way of life.

Watching all the episodes of "Frontier House" on PBS was a real eye opener. I did love the Little House books though. Judging by the ditty and history, those pioneer women worked themselves to death.

Good luck with your new home and hope its really enjoyable. Its lovely in the Dublin mountains, especially as its not too far a drive outside of the city. Plenty of sheep for wool gathering too! Enjoy your last few weeks holidays and looking forward to all the news when you arrive back. I like the sound of YOUR pioneering song best. Good luck with your new home and hope its really enjoyable.

Except, will you be without the internet? I'm flexible and resourceful, but I don't think I'd have a good time without hi-speed internet anymore, maritally speaking. Darren and I met online, and computer/internet is a huge factor in our relationship. I worry that we won't be able to afford it once we find our own place and start paying rent...and I get scared. I need to go knit right this minute. Heh. I’m really interested to see how things go, too! Except, will you be without the internet?
