It was suggested I introduce myself. LOL, how in the heck does one do that????
OK. basics, I'm an aging former hippie who has lived in homesteading heaven and hell for much of my life. Now at nearing 77, I manage a tiny homestead (one acre) in the wilds of Oregon. It feeds me, body and soul. I'm a mix of interests outside of homesteading and growing thing, and have written several books about this life and making it successful (Making Money With Goats is probably the best known) but most recently have a new book (unpublished so far) about wellness and aging well and what that takes. That title (so far) is "Better Body, Better Brain, More Zing: What to do about Inflammation and other treachery to wellness". Because how can you homestead if it all goes south!!! So I'll probably be sharing some of what I learned in that investigation, too.
In the near future, my homestead loving son will be taking over (or sharing) this adventure. I am pretty comfortable with a minor social life but I suspect he will need more. So one of the things I'm looking for here is ideas for meeting his social needs. (The wilds of Oregon has little to offer.) Then too, I am hoping there is much I can learn from all the participants here. I am insatiably curious, a reader, and figured this forum will feed those interests! I look forward to 'meeting" you!
