Keep the Homefires Burning

My little boy wants to be a cowboy!

If I could I'd move us to Montana and live a real homestead life. My son would be packing up tomorrow! Since going to the Sanders County fair for the past two years with my parents and attending the rodeo, Jack has been obsessed with all things western. Boots, chaps, spurs, western shirt, cowboy hat, etc. I found an old National Geographic book for kids all about cowboys and he all but sleeps with it!

This is when that yearning for rural life really wreaks havoc on me. I lived in a small town for about two years and loved every minute of it. I would love to raise my third munchkin in that atmosphere. If I could make a living as a teacher in Montana, I'd be there tomorrow. Unfortunately, teachers there earn half of what I earn here.

I know I'm whining, and I believe I am where God wants me and my family....(I think!!)...but every time I see Jack in his western gear, trying to rope the cat and dog, asking for a chance to live on a farm...well, I would if I could!

For those of you blessed with the true homestead lifestyle, don't take it for granted! There are so many of us that envy you!

In the meantime, I will "bloom where I'm planted"!

Blessings to all!
Connie
