Then Dad decides we weren't far enough away from our neighbors and wanted to haul us all off to <I>Alaska</I> and try his (read "our" -he'd be working driving long-distance hauls) hand at homesteading! Fortunately, Mom put her foot down and we never followed that adventure.</div> <bR> <div>      It wasn't until years later, after I'd spent a few years experiencing city life, that I began to wish I was in the country. It was a long, convoluted journey of a quarter century before my road finally, and gratefully, led me back to the woods. </div> <bR> <div>      I've been living in Thisildo Realm for over nineteen years and as much as I grumble about the "miserable terrain", I dearly love this little patch of wooded ravine. I've discovered serenity in The Realm. And I can appreciate what my Dad felt about neighbors being too close ~~ although I'm not looking to try homesteading in Alaska! <IMG SRC="44510130.gif" border=0 width="16" height="19" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div>      The Realm is shared with two pampered fur kids, five equally pampered purrbies, and one delightful guy I had the good fortune to meet online 20 June 2004.
