Hey, Dac....been trying to find ya on facebook.......

Sorry to hear you lost your post, I hate when that happens. I think your article should be about the decision your trying to make. Balancing the SS life you want with family and work. Maybe we could all learn how to do it from you!!

Your to do list is really long. Are these all things your working on or still need to do? Wow, I am overwhelmed just reading it.

One step at a time...

I don't want to sell but we might eventually decide to do so.

Selling 100 acres with a pond, building, and adjoining national forest could bring us a nice chunk of change. It has electricity, municiple water, natural gas.
