Originally, we were living on 1/2 acre in a small town about 30 miles south of San Antonio, TX. The house was built in 1896, and is/was my dream house. My father passed in 2007 and left me money to purchase land. It was his request for me to do so, otherwise, I would have done something different. We were able to purchase 10.5 acres about 20 miles further south of us. We have our beautiful home up for sale, but are working on building our home further out in the country. We currently live in a storage container, but my husband has started our bigger house (1500 sq ft). We currently live in 360 sq ft..with three kids. <br /><br />I am excited to learn about the Cherokee Trail of Tears beans. My husband's many times grandmother was Cherokee. Her name was Mary. Her family was leaving on the Trail of Tears when my husband's many times grandfater married her, and they stayed in Alabama. Pretty cool. I am more excited then he is though, and try to teach my girls about their heritage. We are making a plan to travel to OK to the reservation in the Spring. I look forward to getting to know you through your blog. <br /><br />Amy<br />www.theprairiewife.blogspot.comAmy Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13791794778608236210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8798347790289310925.post-26644236622229687852009-01-06T18:35:00.000-08:002009-01-06T18:35:00.000-08:00Isn't God's timing amazing?

Heaven...I am grateful that I just found your blog. Heavenly Father's timing is not only perfect, but compassionate. <BR/><BR/>My husband and I, 60 and 49 respectively, have had dreams of living on an off-grid homestead with acreage enough to support ourselves, livestock and perhaps other folks. Reality has struck. We will not be able to afford such a dream, but have found a property that has one acre. My husband was greatly discouraged and depressed that our 'dream' would never be realized.<BR/><BR/>Finding your blog today is a ray of glorious hope for us. We do not have any zoning restrictions for livestock because the property is in the country. But, we would likely limit ourselves to chickens and perhaps one milking doe.<BR/><BR/>The potential of one acre is remarkable. Thank you so much!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
