Milking the cows and making cheese in Sardinata

the good life!
Your weekend away sounds lovely Frank. I think more city people (especially kids) should experience farm stays, so they can have a better appreciation for where their supermarket food comes from :)

Farm stays
Another great blog Frank. I'm a city girl but love to visit and can appreciate the countryside. Well done.

A great get-away!
How wonderful to experience country life with hikes, animal visits and cheese-making! I love spending time in the countryside, but haven't spent any time on farms. This place sounded like it had everything--how great!

Living where the living is easy
It sounds very nice where you are staying. I retired in December of 2010 and have been on a quest of a sort for the “perfect” place to live for the past 3 years. But the pull of being near my family was stronger than I had thought it would be and so always after 6 weeks or so I return home. I have been fortunate as I have been debt free for decades and have been downsizing for the past few years till the “10% that matters” will fit in my 30 foot RV and truck. I know what you mean about cheap and stress free living in the country. I home base on my sister’s property in my RV and give her $160 a month to do so. My RV is parked in the Texas countryside about 25 miles west of College Station, Texas. So I have both the luxury of almost total quiet most of the time (except for the coyotes howling on a cold night or the sound of the wild hogs outside once in a while), and the convenience of once a week driving over to College Station to shop at the SuperWalmart. For the first year after I retired I had to beat back job offer after job offer but friends and family finally realized that I intended to live and live well on less than my annuity paid that I receive since I took early retirement. I don’t need the stress of working just for money. And I don’t know too many employees who would allow me constantly to take off on a moment’s notice for a 6 weeks trip merely on a whim. I have found out that my reasoning that I can live well on half as much if I don’t work is correct. Mainly as I can afford to live where the living is good and inexpensive. Actually it has been more like a third as much. Sounds to me that maybe we have both found our Nirvana, using this definition - An ideal condition of rest, harmony, stability, or joy.
