Another holiday is done now.  Christmas was quiet here, but we still had a good one.  Yes, for those inquiring minds that want to know, the homestead is still for sale.  January will be a very busy month for us, as we have several doctor appointments already scheduled, plus several other things listed on the calendar already.  Wishing all a Happy New Year, and we hope and pray that 2015 is a much better year for all of us!

We had a small Thanksgiving but a good one here.  Big turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes (and a few baked potatoes for the mister), gravy, carrots, green bean casserole, and pies -- pumpkin, apple, and gooseberry.  It was a great meal and a very good day.

For those with questions, yes, the homestead is still for sale.

We have had a few very good inquiries that sound promising but nothing serious yet.  We're still praying about it, and we figure it will sell if and when it's supposed to -- and go to the family that's meant to be here.

Hope everybody else had a great Thanksgiving too.

Our ad is now online, and the place is for sale:

Or see the links for pages on the right and click on the ad page.

If it will help with financing, we will consider a partial trade for the right home in Florida (somewhere between the Ocala and Port Richey areas) towards a down payment on this place.  If you have a place in Florida and are interested, please contact us!  

After a couple of requests, I did add a photo of the shop and lean-to barn attached.

A little more information:  We don't have 911 addresses out here, just a rural route address.  In other words, you can't use Google Earth, Google maps, Yahoo maps, or your GPS locator to find directions to our door.

The private drive is 1/2 mile long, and it's rough in spots.  Yes, it can be navigated by a car, as we have friends that do it.  Some of the neighbors own 2-wheel-drive vehicles (vans, cars), and they also navigate the drive.

Depending on the cell phone provider, some cell phones work out here and some don't.  We do have DSL internet, and there are other high-speed internet providers including satellite internet, Centurylink, and I believe Dish TV.

Hibernation for the winter is about the only excuse I can give.  We had a longer and colder winter than is normal around here, and now I believe we have jumped right from winter to summer with very little spring in between.

We have managed to have our spring flowers blooming, but like I said, it didn't seem like we had much spring in between our winter and now summer temperatures.

We have had several storms already, including tornado warnings, which the worst of the weather seems to have gone around us.  (Thank God!)  We do have our tornado shelters, just in case.

Greenhouse is going good, full of tomatoes, lettuce, radishes, cabbages, snow peas, carrots, all kinds of good things.  He has been planting outside garden for weeks now.  We've been eating salads out of the greenhouse for weeks.  Mmmm..

This past few months has been very busy and very stressful sometimes.  We'll get through everything, though.  I will try to post more often!
