Like the title says, its been two years and we still are not settled here. If you have been reading my main blog "Trip of A Lifetime" you know where we moved to and why and some of the problems we faced moving here and settling in.
Regardless we have begun to collect animals and I hope to share some of their lives with you here maybe a place where the girls can help share in the stories of our pets and animals as we work towards our dream of a small place to call our own where we can have a few animals and maybe take back a lost part of life. So for now I will introduce you to the members of our family as I can add pics of them and write some stories about them and our adventures in Homesteading.
Why Homesteading? Well we have always loved animals but where we lived you were limited to cats, dogs, reptiles, fish and birds. If you were one of the lucky ones you could own a horse or two but that required lots of money and rights in the area you lived in to own them. Being raised on a small farm as a child left a mark in my mind as a reminder of simpler lives. Over the years I have wanted to get that back. Moving here gave me that chance to change our lives to ones of quiet and calm instead of rush and hurry lives.
For those who haven't read my other blog well you might want to go visit it then you can find out more about me and where we are and what we are doing here. Where am I you say? Libya..to be exact a city called Tajoura just outside of Tripoli the capital of Libya. Didn't they just have a war or still in one? Well gee you been reading the news...lol sorry for my sarcasm but most people had no clue even where it was until 2011. If you at least watched a bit of news past three years well lots have changed some good some for worse. But its a life choice and yes its already claimed its life from me and may take more one day but don't all life choices?
But this is going to be a happy blog not the main one where some days I rant and roar about injustices. Here in this one I only want sadness if its the loss of a animal. I need to find a positive vent somewhere.
So lets begin shall we...I will start with the pets we have now and as we acquire them I will tell new stories. I will try to start with the order we got them maybe let the girls tell a few stories along the way. It might take a bit to get images on my laptop since I don't use it as much as my tablet but for blogging this is easier and I can feel the keys under my hands much better.
I will start with Raccoon and move on from there so if I don't post for a bit well im working on getting images and a story line for her. Aieysha wants to be a vet one day and maybe all that she will get will be to assist one or be married to one but for now she is our animal vet and has helped take care of our little furry, feathered guests. I will ask her today to help me get some images of Raccoon put on a card so I can place them here and then you can see each of our babies as I introduce them.
Two years in and we have so much to do and lots that we wish had been already accomplished but life is like that you get a few steps forward and she pulls the rug out from under you and sometimes you fall down a flight of stairs and break a few bones other times she simply makes you stumble a bit and catch yourself and your back on your way forward. Join us in our new life and hope we can provide some laughs along the way...its a dream but the best dreams are those that come true.
