This is one beautiful state, with lots of wide open spaces, wild beries everywhere and good land on which to farm. This is a "bicycle friendly" state and Jamie might do well here, too in the bike business. Whatever you all decide, we know you'll find wonder-filled places to explore and enjoy. love, TaTa Before purchasing land in Ft Davis (and we loved the area too) – look at Montanna AND Oregon.

We're currently in a big bowl of thunderheads, with the wind whipping off the prairie (hard to believe there's prairie at 5000 feet) at about 30 knots. My kids too have come to love things vastly different from their non-nomadic counterparts, NPR being one. Their imaginations, too, have become so nimble - yesterday, they made Nimbus 2000 brooms from tall grass, twine (from firewood bundles) and sticks - and they looked almost perfect, though a little small. I can't remember them doing that back in Maine. It's funny you're looking at land in Texas while we think of finding a plot as far north as we can (avoiding grizzlies, however.) Guess I've got global warming on the brain. ;-). Funny, we’re 1,000 miles due north (to a T) of you at this moment, and the sky here is the same.

It's not exactly like the radio show, but they'll see some of those on the radio, plus terrific funny performances by Meryl Streep and Woody Harrilson (sp?), and others. love, dad Perhaps you’ll take the boys to the Prairie Home Companion movie.
