I got mine TOO Alex!! My mom lives next door. As she drove by she saw the postman putting the package in my box! She called me at work, and offered to get it and drive it to me at my office in town (10 miles away)! ha ha I told her I could wait til I got home! Oh.... I definitely brought it with me today!! I love it!!! ;D Thank you Doug!!!!! ;D

and Jan, I lived next door to my mom and dad for 18 years on a farm about 5 minutes from here, than after mom died and dad was dying we sold the farm and moved here, we loved having things that way all those years, it was great when all was well, than just a few months after we moved here, my daughter and family bought the house next door to us, haha so now she can say 'mom' lives next door, and having my granddaughter so close is so precious.

That's GREAT Rosie! My parents gave my brothers and I land as we all got married, so we all live close too! I actually live smack in the middle of the pasture where I used to ride my horse when I was a kid. My dad passed away in 2008, but mom is doing great! She's VERY active in her church, and has gone to Uganda recently doing mission work. She has one of those big zero turn lawn-mowers, and she cuts EVERYBODY's grass in the family! ...says she LOVES it! (the sweetest "yard man" you ever saw! ha ha) She also has a golf cart, and she rides all over the neighborhood visiting and just finding excuses to get out of the house. Oh, I'll probably be living here when I die...... unless we can figure a way to move to the Keys! ha ha ha (dreaming.....) ;D

wow Jan that is so awesome. My dad was a preacher, we constantly moved as kids, but when he retired he came up here bought a small farm and told us all he'd give us land, so we loved it and put us a place on it but my brother or sister did not want to move to the 'boonies' so they never did come. We loved it for years, than my back injury happened so that ended my days of 'playing' on the farm, than mom and dad began to become feable, than my husband had it all to care for plus work a job 50 miles away, so life got 'rough'. Mom passed in 2006 and hubby had his first heart attack so we decided time to simplify, so we moved to one acre and a smaller home, but those memories are sweet ones for sure.

I am so glad you like the book!! We live next door to dougs parents in the Keys.And in North Carolina we are building a family compound.So as our parents age they can just be our neighbors.Then if the kids want to move there they can too :)

Maddysmom the first house on the right is dougs moms house :D

Umpa, that is so wonderful. I don't really remember any of the other houses. Just before we turned on your street, one of those little key deers ran right across the street in front of us, then we saw another one standing in one of your neighbor's yards. I was all taken with that at the time! They are so much smaller than the deer we see here in GA. So cute!!
Oh, I listened to Doug's cd this morning, and it is GREAT!! So encouraging and motivating!!! I plan to share it with some friends, but I won't be ready to let go of it for a while! ;D
