Hi world!
Hi world… Boy am I glad that those elections are over… Whether you believe this country elected the anti-christ, the Messiah, or just some poor shmuck that’s jumping into a pit of poop (I’ve heard all three said), I’ll bet you’re just glad that the campaigning is finally over… I KNOW I am!
This is my first blog and I guess that I should do a short introduction of myself. I’m a 56 year old mother of six, and have 13 ½ grandkids. I worked for 18 years with Special Ed. children and loved it and them. I’ve recently had a back injury, and find myself at home with a bit of time on my hands, so thought I’d jump into the blogging world and check it out.
Hubby and I have 5 acres out in a VERY rural setting. The closest town is a couple of miles away, and our nearest neighbor is about a quarter of a mile away on one side with no homes on the other three sides for MANY miles. We are surrounded by BLM land which makes it really nice and quiet.
I get to listen to, and watch, many kinds of wild critters like coyotes, quail, dove, ground squirrels (little nasty thieves), and road runners, etc.
Tomorrow I’ll start to fill you in on our Corgi crew and horses… Have a good day!!

Hi, ocmist:
I live way out in the country too, in my case it’s all mountains and national forest. The nearest town is seven miles away, and two of my girls go to a school with a total of 21 students–counting them. The nearest “big” town is 45 minutes away and has a population of roughly 3,500. We’ve got deer, bears, foxes, skunk, squirrels, and many more wild critters all around us, and I’ll probably snowed in next month.
Anyway, I better let you get back to hunting for that missing half a grandkid.
Nice to hear from you. We are in the foothills at about 2500 ft. I’ll bet it is beautiful where you are. I love the mountains and forest. We go up often… It’s about a 45 min. drive.
Our school has 35 students total, and most of them are brought out by their parents who live in our nearest town, about 20 mins. away. The classes are smaller here, so more attention, etc.
Have a good evening.
