On a much more positive note...

We have had five sets of neighbors stop by since we've moved in.  Bringing trays of cookies and hand written cards with their contact information just in case we ever need it.  I cannot tell you how happy that makes me feel, like we chose a really good place to raise our kids.  Things like if our dog(s) ever got out or something happened we would have someone there to help.  All of them have said things like, well living out here you have to watch out for each other...which I couldn't agree with more.

And look who got to ride with her Dad around the property on the new "tractor". :-D
