Her husband is a customs inspector, and is getting transferred because the people smoked at his office. It is against Federal regs, but he didn't want to make a big deal of it. They had planned to retire there, and have done all kinds of upgrades - a whirlpool jacuzzi in the basement, new carpeting and all kinds of stuff.
She has a garden and grow everything. Also there are raspberries, apple trees, and all kinds of stuff to eat on the property.

That is so sad, but what a beautiful piece of land!

Well, I could afford it. But it might get a little lonely. There are no neighbors that you can see. The nearest town is very small, but does have a grocery store and a Dairy Queen.

Is this going to be an MB commune?
I'm up for moving. We had looked at Wymong, but Montana might not be bad.

Oh goody goody, we're having a commune! Like Idiotville, but better.
Neaksis says the point of Montana is to be lonely, lol.
We would just have to live close enough to visit each other.

She can can for all of us.
(Can can? I thought that was a dance.)

Pickles, Peas, and Jellies. Hmm, hope someone else can do other things.
Honestly, why can. They have Sams and Walmart. You might have to drive but you don't have to clean up the mess and you have to go buy the supplies anyway. I would have to buy the cucumbers, peas, and fruit as I don't have a green thumb.

Oh I can help. I love to cook, and know how to do the jam and jelly thing where you keep it in the refrigerator. Canning can't be THAT hard.
The lady was amused when I asked her how close the nearest grocery store was. Apparently it is not necessary to go to the store every single day.

I must have lost my post.
I'm talking to Alice right now. What a nice lady.

Is this going to be an MB commune? How my life has spanned the eras. In my youth, I could've been a little hippie...and now, just shy of 58, I'm a little hippy. A commune sounds appropriate, under the circumstances. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /><img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> t&l

We would just have to live close enough to visit each other. Get that 20-acre thing and subdivide. Make your dad live in the alfalfa. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> It'd be JUST the thing for his hay fever. But the rest of it isn't anything to sneeze at, either! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> t&l

Did Alice tell you about the ice storm 7 years ago when they lost all electricity for 8 days?

I'd be up for it if it weren't for my DS's medical needs. 10 MILES to Canada? Whoa!

T&L -
The alfalfa field is optional. They are on some kind of a government program where they lease it out to the government, and someone comes and does all of the work and cuts the stuff, and pays them 1/3.
When we move up there, we'll just let the deers eat it. Alice said the deer get into the apples and all of the other stuff too.
