You might need to remember that more now that you're on a farm, except I'm not seeing you
as a spur wearing kind of farmer!

Am I right in thinking that dexters are a breed of cattle? Sorry I'm a city girl, even if I do live in
the midst of the great american prairie (and farmland). It all sounds peaceful and lovely, and
a lot of work.

The years have treated me okay, other than the normal stuff that happens as one gets older.
I still live in the same place and have the same job, although it has evolved over time, and
continues to evolve. I'd love to be able to retire, but my thoughts of early retirement kinda
went downhill with my retirement fund when the economy tanked in 2008. It didn't all
disappear, but the "early" part certainly did.
