Wyoming - headed for Arkansas
I never know what to say on these intro messages.

I am 50, female, married, empty nester. Unless you count our two fur-babies. An old grumpy Corgi and a 2 year old Jack Russell.

Have finally found our off-grid forever property. For 1/2 the price of our property sale in Wyoming, we have found our perfect home in Arkansas. I never thought I would leave Wyoming for very long. But, it just seems to be in the stars for us.

We are getting rid of 90% or our 'stuff' and getting excited to get settled across the country. I see no reason to haul stuff all the way there that I can so easily replace in the blink of an eye. The only thing I am struggling with is a wood cook stove that has been in my family since the 1800's.

We have our own 'cottage business'. Hubby does custom leather work and I do sewing. I will be working out of the home just to secure ourselves a little more. One can never have to much ammo or other supplies; now, can they.

With a bit of trepidation, I put our fate into the wind and just have to believe we are making the right move.

Greetings from just west of Lake Superior...

I did a number of my ..growing up.. years in northern Wyoming..
Yes.. Keep the stove.. There was a time I had planned a ..yard barn.. type building and turning it into a ..summer kitchen.. with a stove for canning and such to keep heat out of the house..

Keep the stove!

Hello and welcome from S.W. Oregon. I heartily agree that you should keep the stove, don't know if you've seen the prices of new good stoves but I'd be happy to have an old cook stove around. My grandmother had a wood cook stove that also had hot water coils around the inside of the fire box that would feed a large galvanized tank just behind the stove, as soon as the tank got hot I'd take a bath, she also cooked wonderful things on that stove, I miss those days so very long ago and looking back I'm sorry I didn't appreciate my grandmother as much as I should have. My half sister lived in Upton, Wyoming for many years, went through many rough winters of wind and cold, good place to move from. Wife, son and I lived at 8,000 ft elevation in the mountains of Colorado for a few years, so living where we are now is like paradise. I wish you the very best in your new home.
 
Yes, Taterbug joined on 8/13/18 and made one post. Problem is, she is still considered as an active member, so if she decided to pop back in here, she will see many warm welcomes since many old members still receive notifications.

But until she responds, I'd recommend letting this sink to the bottom.

I looked at her profile and saw that she joined in 2018! and hasn't been back since then. I am wondering why this thread came up? I'd bet there are perhaps 100's similar or at least dozens of similar threads. Keeping up with birthdays, this is not someone who would even notice if she got a birthday greeting or not.
