I know we don't generally discuss our personal stuff unless it's a crisis. I thought I would share a bit of good news... Shawn and I bought a farm.

We are both from neighboring small, rural communities and met on a fluke during the pandemic. Marrying him was the highlight of my mature years. LOVE that man!

We are moving to a small farm near both our respective families and starting a dog boarding business. It's a good fit and fills a community need. We have five spoiled dogs, six barns, a lot of acreage, and it just makes sense.

When I was in my teens, I went to a hole in the wall comic shop. It's still there but bigger. Need to transfer my pull. I am gaining an office (aka comic den) to display my favorite issues and remaining action figures.

Once we get settle, I will send Perry and Jeff my new address.

That's awesome!!!

I hope in the next decade I get to my favorite, 'this is my PLACE!' next and last favorite move!

Jeff

This sounds amazing Rodney! I'm completely jealous.  My wife and I often think about a more rural move. And life boarding dogs sounds wonderful.

Perry

Congrats and best of luck, Rodney. That sounds awesome.

A part of me misses that kind of living (coming from the mountain area of western Virginia... NOT WEST Virginia mind you  ;)), but I just can't go back to not being able to walk to the store for milk if I need to, so I have to remain a "city mouse"  ;)

But yes, that kind of living does have some major advantages. 

Hope it gives you guys everything you could ever want!!

Thank you! Just got home for closing. Can't wait to unpack and start landscaping.
If you're ever near Dunkirk, I will have a guest room and home cooked meal.
