well girls he leaves tues. for work in klamath falls. now we see how big a job. it is union, so that will help with the cobra ins. it will help us save dollars. i think we still are going to relocate. local if we can. i spoke with teresa. she was off grid once. when we used to take my mom to mexico every year we lived off the grid in a motorhome. since i spend most of my time outside its more important to me. so now i am digging up my plants and potting to sell you are all an inspiration. you all have great business skills. i am going to follow you all.we are working on the market garden at our sons this afternoon after our christian meeting. we can actually buy more land for less than what we owe here. go figure. if we go off grid i can buy about 10 to 20 acres of dirt. no services. we shall see. i would love to fing something with water.i use hot hot water for pain relief. so need to figure how to do baths in clean water often. sometimes 4 baths a day when sick. hot tubs need chemicals so cannot do that. i have a book called solviva that has good ideas in it.it looks like more work local after this. so i might be able to stay here. i ask myself now is that the wise choice? we are getting older and there is a lot to maintain here. irrigation etc. i love it here. but that would be an emotional decision. i need to be practical. wanted to let you all know things are better. thanks to all you gals sherrye happy days on the farm
Sherry, looks like things are looking up! So happy for you. Maybe you could do a tub like in MJF's idea book. Heated with propane burners, now there's some pain relief! We are here for you.
