About
Second generation, born and raised in California, I have lived up and down the coast from San Francisco to San Diego and several cities in-between.
Most recently, we were living in Riverside County. With my husband working in the construction field, we were fortunate to be able to sell our home and move out of the state, right as the housing market crash was looming. It started to crumble right behind us.
For a journal of our moving adventures, see my entries in The Move From California category.
We purchased property in the Sacramento Mountains of southeastern New Mexico several years ago – with the intention of having an outpost where we could go camping on our own land. Little did we know, it would become our permanent homestead!
Now, we happily live and work from our little home in the woods of Timberon, New Mexico. My husband works for the local contractor (building homes again!) and takes on local auto mechanic work on the side.
I utilize various e-commerce venues, and will prettymuch sell anything that is not nailed down. I also create Batik Egg Art and Ostrich Eggshell & Sterling Silver Jewelry. You can see my work at my storefront site called Enchanted Hen Productions.
The nearest Wal-Mart is a hundred mile round trip. Fine with me!
Our two kids go to high school in the neighboring town (well – ‘neighboring’ meaning 40 miles away) and enjoy the smaller class size that this village school offers. I believe they were on a first name basis with everybody in school by the second week.
This blog will be a compilation of the scatter-shot internet real estate I have plugged in here and there over the years. I will transfer my other blogs here, provide links to my various venues, and maintain a journal of this ‘pioneer life’ we have taken on. It should be interesting. Hope you will visit often.
