I am selling my home after the first of the year. The kids are very unhappy about it. But the way I see it they will get over it. They told me I needed to start living life so that is what I am going to do. I have 50 acres of land and a home bigger than this one there.
  I am going to take me, the dogs and the fish. Going to get back into rescuing German Shepherds. Get me a few chickens and a hog or 2.
  I grew up there till I was 13. I can be near Patty and my mom and dad. I have wanted to go back home for the last 10 year.

   I wish you well, JR. I know that you're doing what will make you happy, and that's all that counts. Doing rescue work will be both challenging and rewarding, and you'll being doing the things that you want to do ....in the place that you want to be....dang, you can't beat that, can ya..

  I'm guessing that the hard rehab work has done it's job too.

The rehab fixed me up. not as fast as I was have a little limp but that is ok.

JR, sounds like you are doing the perfect thing!  I wish you well.  If all you have is a little limp, after that bad injury, you are really fortunate.  Your medical care sure did it's job, and you cooperated with it all.  Where are you moving?  How far from your current home?

Great plan JR. I'm missing my Virginia!

Thank you all. I a just tired of everybody being on top of me. If I want to I can walk out my back door and shot a gun the fishing hole is only a half mile away. It is all my dads family there. All of us together have 3200 acres to play on. The land gives us everything we need its just great.

Trust me JR, if Jan and I, had a place like that...we'd be all over it....LOL...in a flash....

Good for you JR. I would never live in a city again. My closest nieghbor is 2 miles away, wouldn't have it any other way.
Hell i can go out on my back deck and drink coffee in my underwear if i want to.
I don't have as much land as you, but enough. The closest town is 7 miles away(pop. 200). We have a volunter fire dept' and a soda machine, no stop lights or stop signs.
i also have chickens a a couple pigs, 3 geese,3 muscovy ducks and 6 pygmy goats.
Glad your doing what you wany.
