@Gunny Khan The extra work is one of those things that no one thinks about when they want to live the "country life". The other thing people forget is that they can't just hop down to the grocery store and grab few things. Thankfully, grocery delivery and Amazon helps. For us, after spending years living the city life, it has been worth it to live in the country.

I like the shoes! Your outfit looks good!

Thanks the words of encouragement Gunny. As a dad of a solider who is preparing for deployment, I appreciate you reminding us to think about those serving our country.

Nice coat!

Not surprising. Reminds me of a time when I worked at a publishing company. We had a young pastor who had written a bestseller. The book was translated into Spanish. He was sent on a book tour in Mexico. Before his first appearance in front of a group of Mexican clergy, he was asked if he'd brought a suit with him. The pastor, in typical "hip pastor" dress (unbuttoned shirt with rolled up sleeves over a dark t-shirt, skinny jeans, and running shoes) replied "no". The rep who asked the question replied that no one in Mexico would respect him or his writing unless he wore a suit.
