We both have a sense of self-sufficiency from being able to provide for ourselves, in at least some sense. Mostly from the hunting. I say WE hunt, but what I should say, what would be more accurate, is that I point, and say "theres one!!", and he shoots it. Then he cleans it. I have an allergic reaction to getting my hands icky. Our garden is not huge, but we are able to provide some vegetables through the winter. Its mostly for fun. Fun, for him. I like it until it gets big enough that slugs start showing themselves, then.. Im done.
Between the two of us, we have three daughters. He has two, I have one. They have decided they are sisters. And they seem to have a good relationship. Thankfully. All of them have kids of their own, and being grandparents is an amazing feeling.... I dont think of it as old.... im 40 for cripes sake!!!
It isnt a perfect life for everyone, but we like it.
