Four brave women attended my first "Cookin With A Rural Attitude" class last Thursday...  They were invited because I knew that they would be honest and give me great feedback on how best to do the class so that those attending would have fun and I could expand my client base.  For those who may ...

I recently blogged about "Perspective...is the cistern half empty or half full?" not realizing that what was already bad would get even worse.  Did I believe what I wrote.  Yes.  Did it change my circumstances. No...unfortunately not.  What it did do was bring me to a place of dependence instead ...

We were sitting eating a bowl of taco soup yesterday after a morning of splitting wood, working in the garden and cleaning the barn.  We were making progress...  Then my sister's phone rang.  It was my other sister, Sara, asking if we could do her a HUGE favor.  Her son, Justin, had a visitor fro...

In a matter of less than 24 hours my truck died (on the way to an appointment no less) and I accidentally emptied our cistern of all the water (on a slow response well...Lord have mercy!).  No big...except that they can't have my truck fixed until next week and I had friends visiting for the week...

All right! All right!  I confess...I do look at my ranking on Active Rain in hopes to one day be a little farther up the board.  So, I peaked at my competition to see what they were blogging about...just for grins.  I figured...maybe their blogs could give me ideas for future blogs.  It didn't ta...

Back in the day...or at least "my day"...kids like myself couldn't wait for the times when we could watch shows like Roy Rogers, Sky King, Bonanza, The Rifleman, Wagon Train and Gunsmoke.  It wouldn't be unusual to see scenes in those programs where there would be a "friendly" competition to see ...

Here's a news flash you probably didn't think you'd get today...frogs squeal.  I ain't talkin about croaking or grunting...I'm talkin squeal...like a pig or a bird in distress.  I was out planting a rose bush while my chickens were peckin and scratchin around me when I heard this incredible squee...

For those of you that don't live in Texas...we garden here year round...  We recently moved to our new place just outside of Boerne, Texas and it came complete with 10 laying chickens and a wannabe garden.  The folks that owned the place before us had good intentions of having a beautiful raised ...

I'm not Martha Stewart, Rachel Ray, Emeril (what's his last name?) or even the next Food Network Star...just a "rural lifestyler" that is longing for a piece of yesterday.  Don't get me wrong...I don't want or need to live in the past...but I do want to grab the simplicity of yesterday and incor...

While I am typing this blog I can hear our thirteen year old Golden Retriever, Sarah, wrestle between panting and labored breathing... we knew this day was coming.  We had noticed a change in Sarah this past February.  She went with us on a walk and got wore out towards the end...so not like her....

If you sit at work dreaming and thinking there's gotta me more than concrete sidewalks and this face paced life...then maybe it's time you find yourself again and start living the simplicity of the "rural lifestyle". It doesn't mean you have to give up your job...just give up living 10 feet away from your neighbor or starting your own garden or have that horse you've always dreamed of. I have been a licensed Realtor for nearly 18 years with experience in new home construction, (both production and custom), log homes, and helping folks live the rural lifestyle. It would be my extreme pleasure to help you realize your dream.
