CURRENT MISSION

Build a ecological house, care for one dog, some hens, a cat and two horses in farm setting, be creative in all things, show empathy.
NOTE: I currently live in a TINY house (while building) that is extremely small, but I do have a shower, an extra bed, washing machine, toilet, kitchen, refrigerator etc. We share this space so I can currently only accept one guest at a time - or several using tents (bring tent).

ABOUT ME

I run my own business, mainly from home. I have 2 great kids (they speak English, Spanish, French and some Italian) 21 & 23 yrs old, but it is only my daughter (the 21-year-old) that lives at home. I love the country living and plan to build an ecological (strawbale insulated) house. I like the contrast between sometimes being up-to-date and modern and other times pull on the ole' work clothes to try to fix an old car or something else that's broken. I am outgoing and social and our home is filled with respect, love and a great deal of humor. I love trying new thing and are not afraid to test new ideas.
I am interested in growing vegetables etc but I can not spend too much time on it until I have built the house.

PHILOSOPHY

The one with the most money when they die does not win - it is the one who was happy the most during their life that wins.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drive horses in farming is pretty unusual in these modern times (during the day I can be a modern business woman), building a small house, build a strawbale house is what I am workin on now, win a pony in a lottery when I was 11 yrs old,... I can go on...
