We all have dreams we've carried with us since our youth.
Mine was to live happily ever after and have five daughters.
My hubby's was to find his ideal homestead to retire to.
Fast forward, after 4 sons, I have 4 stepdaughters, and I'm happy.

But, my hubby is still looking for that rural place among
the tall pines, with clear running water and/or a good well
where he can plant a large garden and fruit trees to become
self sufficient in this hustle bustle urban world of today.
So the years pass, we aren't getting any younger and he is
still looking for that retirement place with the ideal climate.
Notice his huge garden in Texas, but it was humid there.
It's too hot to garden where we live now, though the pioneers did!
