I love YOU and your crazy search for YOUR utopia. I LOVE your wife for hanging with you. I am sure SHE COULD write a book or two. And, someday, we need to have that coffee! We will be in Taos for a whole week. Let me know if you would like to have a cup of coffee! We leave for Taos, tomorrow. Our casita is in the final stages! We can actually sleep in it tomorrow night. Heat and a toilet is working. Life is very good!! I just have to say this:

And actually, we <em>did</em> that in--ye gods--1983! Stayed in student hostels and a few places I was afraid to go to sleep. Well, I haven’t gotten that message yet.

My wife is from there and we've made many visits to Des Moines and Dubuque over the last 30 years! Looking over the local details about the area where this farm is located kinda scares me, though. I think I'd go insane. I haven't spent much time in Wisconsin, although I enjoy watching the trains come across the Mississippi River from there in Dubuque. :-) Right out of a tunnel in the sheer rock cliff face, did you know that? Again, NOT looking to move, but open, if something presents itself. I'm really hoping that this awareness will kick something loose in the immediate vicinity, which would shut me up for a while. This post is mainly an eye-opening exercise, and I hope I see something. Yes, I know all about Iowa, and you’re right.

Here in Wisconsin we are generally happy if a bit overweight (beer, brats and frozen custard). I lived in Santa Fe for 8 years and was "kicked out" in 2003 (long story). Surrendering to "what is" has always worked well -- allows the Universe to move into a situation and change it, as needed. If it helps, people from Iowa seem to be very down to earth and friendly.

I'm just not drawn to Arizona, though, nor to yards with gravel instead of grass. Colored by the Family from Hell in Tucson, I know. Also, an average July high of 97° is not my cup o' tea. :-) But we'll talk once you get back, and please send me any relevant links. Besides the realtor.com ads, which do NOT entice me as much as what I've posted here--rocks and cactus I already got--I can't find anything useful about Cottonwood online. It seems to be a nothingburger kind of place, so I await enlightenment from your end! P.S. I did email the listing agent for info about broadband at the farm above. There actually is DSL.
