There's nothing like fresh country air.

And so ends my 24 hours of continuous blogging and commenting on the AR network.

My head hurts.

My brother did just that.  He moved after living for 30 years in Hawaii and went to the Missouri Ozarks.  His ranch sounded like your friends place.  He is now talking slower and loving life.

I can't do it though.  My wife hates bugs and i can't live without high speed internet.

This is really great advice.  I lived "in the country" when I lived in Phoenix.  No fire service (except by subscription).  15 minute ride to the store.  Then, they built homes and restauants and gas stations around me.

Great info, Shari! Your prospective buyers will no doubt appreciate your expertise!
