I get the rural part of cell phones, or internet, or fancy tv....any of the cheap specials aren't availabe in my corn field! I wish H and I could share a cell plan and save a bunch of money that way but it won't happen this time around. I always knew he was selfish but he can be a real jerk about it too!
H was a hunter before we got together (he says), then moving to this state was such a change he didn't care for it much and gradually dwindled to not at all. The last 3 to 4 years he picked it up again and is very avid again, locally and on trips. I am glad this time he canceled a costly trip, acknowledged he didn't have the money, and it was to accommodate my schedule too. I think that's a ......(drum roll)....baby step!
I do wonder what the heck I would do with all my time if I didn't have the land and livestock. I guess after my town work hours I'd have to find hobbies! What would it be like to not work and work and work? But I do love it here and I think I have an allergy to concrete and neighbors.
