Yikes!! My daughter had fun in PaintShop Pro!! What she can do with a picture.
My husband and I live in the "bush" and hour from the closest town. Life here is quiet, yet so much more busy than when we lived in the "city". We grow our own veggies, several kinds of berries, and grow lots of hard neck organic garlic. We have 60 chickens, 4 dogs, 1 cat, 1 bird. Quite the menagerie.
I make all my own breads, and sell them (along with the eggs). I have a group of friends whom I make extra goodies for.
