I have this crazy dream of holding occasional weekend retreats on the ranch where guests would experience a slice of ranch life, cook together in groups, go on photography expeditions, and relax.

I’m thinking that anyone who is interested in buying a house should maybe check and see if the owners suffer a bit of OCD, because the woman who is buying our house is so getting the benefits of my disease, and not just because we patched up the holes in the wall where I threw a carton of milk at Jon’s head and he ducked at just the right second. read more…
