4. a friend i admire (random facts about ali)

A friend i admire is actually someone from my past who i sadly, don't have much contact with anymore. Nothing happened but life really. i moved away and as things sometime do, we drifted apart and got busy with our own lives.

i admire her because she learned how to do all those things i wish i had been taught when i was little...canning, gardening, sewing, cooking and baking...she is kind of a homesteader now with her husband and 5 kids.

Her grandmother taught her all those things and the women in my family didn't teach me anything except how NOT to be like them.

but i digress...lol... she and i used to have long, drawn out discussions on so many things, especially about the kind of life we wanted to live. We both wanted to be on a farm, lol...

well she has a small one now...farm house, chickens, garden, etc...and i have a zoo. grins But Master and i have such great plans for having at least 40 acres and He wants to build another log home on it and while i don't want a farm anymore, i DO very much want horses...and chickens might be kinda cool looks at Master questioningly

i also LOVE the idea of gardening and i still want to learn to sew (heck, im even button sewing challenged, lol) it's never too late to learn stuff, and everything i learn to do will make me a better, more valuable slave to my Master, so i look forward to getting O/our own version of the farm and learning to can, sew, garden and many other things i've always wanted to learn. :)

i admire my friend for getting those things we talked about. it gives me a lot of hope for MY future as well. :)
