country freedom is all about being able to live with elbow room and breathing space. my children are cityfied and I am countryfried. they are quite satisfied with the closeness of city life. small yards, look out of a window and you are looking into another window(some one elses). noise and stink all the time. people everywhere, but I feel out of place. cannot have certain animals unless they permit you to. I actually go to sleep every night, wake up every morn with thoughts of lush green land, animals I want. thats what I miss. lived on my Pappaws farm for 5.5 years in the 70's. living in the city is like living inside the largest jail cell for me!!!! my df(darling fiance) feels the same as I, so we are moving to 6 acres later this summer! nearest neighbor is around 2 miles away!! we think its way about time our children learn new skills!!! you can take the girl out of the country, but you cannot take the country out of the girl. freedom is what I will have, when I get out of this city. once our children reach 18 yrs old, they can move out if they choose. our children still need to learn new skills.
