What we like.

It's amazing! We don't have a clue what we really like. We are usually too bound up by what we think we would like, if we had it.
Lynn and I are finding out what we like about our housing. For some unexpected reasons, we are really happy living in our 16x80 trailer. In many ways we like it better than our very nice monster big house with a great view and terrific yard.
Some reasons why...
:Proximity. Close to downtown and Ryan and Amber.
:More privacy when needed, set in the middle of 65 acres. It is also plenty busy during work days.
:Close to outdoors. Much less isolation between our living space and what's happening outside. This includes the playground being very close to the front door, and the front door being 30 inches above the ground; high enough to feel like we have a view and low enough to be where the action is.
:Easy to clean, because it is small.
:Office, bedroom, bathrooms are handy; because it is small.
:Toilets actually work. I have a habit of clogging up most toilets. (Some people say its because I am a big asshole.)
:Lots of changes. Because nothing is highly finished, we can change the buildings and landscape to our heart's content.
:We are honestly trying to blaze a path to a better future for ourselves and to encourage other Americans that they can do it too.

Life is change. We have lots of life here.
