Jon-
Thank you sir for such a well thought out and written response. I am SUPER APPRECIATIVE for it.. and yes it gives me something to chew on for certain. I think right now we are crafting and discussing what we both want. After my initial post she and I have continued to talk.. she is saying "I just want the FEEL-- I don't necessarily need to live out in the boonies" So there may be some happy medium.. maybe an outskirt of town property (there is plenty around here) where maybe it is a 10 minute trip into town... and we can have our little "patch of land" without being in rough country. So I assume (with any woman) this will be a molded idea over time out of clay.. not a chiseled out of marble idea.
