Son (grinning ear-to-ear): When are we moving in?

    1. Thank you! It came from my own desire to share the freedom I had with my daughter. I wasn’t really in a farm, so no swimming or climbing trees. But a carefree childhood without TV and mobile phones, collecting frog spawns, catching fireflies and dragonflies, playing hide and seek, climbing walls to steal roses. 😁

        1. I am sure I can relate to it personally. I had created my entire doll house furniture out if toothpaste and soap boxes. Wrapped in discarded gift wrappers.
