If you'd be interested maybe you could have a small papercrete workshop there at the farm. I know, a farm is like having children who never grow up. You love 'em but sacrifice some freedom. I do appreciate your participation in the group and look forward to meeting you some day.
Sincerely, Judith

Subject: Re: [papercreters] Re: The Upcoming Gathering
Greetings,
For most of our life, a years notice was needed to go anywhere. Our
vacations were planned at least 2 years in advance. Many companies
require you to book your vacations in December or January for the year.
No changes allowed.
Now, I don't get to go anywhere. The couple we used to swap vacation
time with, divorced and sold their farm. No one wants to look after a
farm for you. I can't afford a couple of thousand a week to hire
someone to do it. So we no longer travel.
I am planning on running a few of my gardening courses mid week for
people who work weekends.
Bright Blessings,
Kim
