Yep, major changes but I'm anxious to get going on them. You know we've lived here almost 3 years and the neighbors still don't know my name. I know theirs but they can't seem to remember mine. With DH being gone so much during the week, it makes a person feel really isolated. I've tried to find some part-time job in the small towns within about 30 minutes of us, but unless you're a high school kid that grew up there, forget it. I thought there was a woman that I could find some common ground with, but she was "shocked and offended" when I happened to mention having a good friend in Key West that was Japanese. The close mindedness of the people around here is hard to take. The hardest part of leaving will be the animals...they're my pets and friends but we'll probably have to rent something for a while up there and I don't think many landlords would look kindly on chickens, rabbits, goats.

Anyway, have to think positive, right?

you are gonna move about one step away from the North Pole.......lol.....

but it will be fun, starting again, raising your new animals.......

I'd think landlords wouldn't mind chickens so much, but you might have to keep in a coop run, full time.......
 
We moved 3 years ago for my husband's job. They offered him a promotion and different territory. It was huge leaving our kids, but its the best thing that ever happened to us.
If you aren't happy where you're at, there are too many other places out there! Go for it!!

Or we'll just all move to Texas with Bert. :D

it's a big place.........

I got lots of room.......I can rent you an acre.......and partial payment, you can keep some chickens for me, and my breeding program....lol
 
Blimey Charlie Debby - better buy some winter clothes! I leave mine in the UK for when i visit. Exciting times ahead, and as for having a Japanese friend - what were you thinking? - I'm surprised you weren't run out of town there and then!

. One good thing is that at least DH will build your new duck palace in half the time it took him to do this one!

I'm not naturally optimistic, but i keep getting and planning for more chickens even though our house is on the market to be rented. I figure if i wait until its rented before i do anything, I'll be wasting time, so what the heck!

Good luck though, but i have to say that Berts offer is the better option - either that or hop on a plane to Kenya

'Home ho hum' never seems to happen here.  I always say that without the Princess I would have gone through life mired in mud up to my knees and without me she would have been floating somewhere in the upper stratosphere.  Together we float about 6 inches above reality.  What can I say - it works - the redneck man and the Gypsy woman.  :p

I'm sure marriage saved me from a similar fate....

You sure that floating business isn't down to those drugs you did in the 60s Sour? :)

She said Wyoming Bert....not the U.P. She will be two steps away from the north pole.

We want to move to Wyoming. Shocker, right? Me, who gets cold when the temps hit 60*. But my brother, his wife, my mother and handicapped nephew are all there now in Cheyenne and a cousin lives close in Laramie. There are jobs there and opportunities.

We'll see how this house stuff goes, right now it feels daunting but once we get clear here we can begin again. I'll keep you all posted.

I can find you here though.
And Wyoming is big enough for ducks when you get settled.
if i won the lottery today I would be out of Florida tomorrow.
and I could afford to buy us both long johns, thick socks, and down coats.

Oh no! You'd change your name and we won't be able to find you!

NFC would be WYC
 
You guys, you're all the best people I know!

Not sure about the name change...maybe keep NFC for "North of FL Chick"?

My brother wants us to get a place with a few acres up there so we can raise a couple of beef and pigs for him. Told him I'd do it if he pays for the venture but I won't go long without ducks and chickens for long. He thought that might be ok. He's a big goof but a pretty good brother.

Lots has to happen before we get to that point though.

Maybe Berts needs to just get a commune together in TX and we'll all go there (and Phil can ice fish in the freezer).
