History

This is an appropriate time to reflect on the history of this blog as it dates back over a decade now and is growing to almost (not quite) 400,000 views. When we took an early retirement in 1997, our venture to our homestead was unique and different and took us far from family and friends. We set up the blog to maintain some contact with family and friends we left behind.

It was only intended to let our friends and family know what we were doing out here on the mountain. By word of mouth, and when I started to write blogs for Mother Earth News Magazine, the readership of our blog picked up readers and we are nearing 400,000 views to date. We enjoy doing the blog and are dumbfounded that people would find our lifestyle is worthy of following.

We enjoy our lifestyle and as we reach more and more readers we are humbled and grateful for all those who read and follow our lifestyle. We have readers from almost every country around the world and that humbles us even more knowing that people are interested in us and our lifestyle.

Thank you to all readers, followers and visitors to our blog site. It never occurred to either of us those many years ago that we would have so many followers and readers. THANK YOU ALL......
