We're going to give it a go! After several people have suggested I blog, either because my over-posting of my stories and adventures on Facebook, or perhaps because they feel I have something to say, I'm gonna give it a shot!
I live on Holly Mountain in Arkansas. Six years ago, my hubby and I moved our little boy, Samuel (aka Cowboy, aka Little Man, aka, Pookie Darling, etc, etc), to Arkansas. Here, we are building a log home (using the term "building," loosely, as that would require the constant act of, which it's NOT) teehee.
To say we are homesteading is pretty true. If homesteading means, living off the land as much as we can, and living without some modern conveniences we previously took for granted, then I reckon that's what we're doing. I do have 2 wonderful luxuries out here ..... TV and internet, both satellite of course :) These 2 things help me keep my sanity on those long stretches of being snowed or iced in, and the simple fact that I live and love the life of a hermit, ha!
The first 2 months we lived on the mountain, we had no restroom. I'll spare you the details, but let me assure you, such an inconvenience is much easier on a man than a woman! The day our commode was installed was one of the happiest days of my life! It was the prettiest toilet I had ever seen, and I have not taken it for granted a single day since!
I hope my stories of living out here, homeschooling Cowboy, and the all around adventure is helpful to someone, or amusing at least. I will be adding some previously written funnies and adventures soon.
Most people can't even imagine living without a toilet! After living in Alaska, I can tell you people, It's true!!!! People that are roughing it while building their cabins DON'T have toilets!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOR plumbing!!!! It seems to be the last thing to go in. LOL!
