Right Place and Time

Living on Winchester Ranch is not always perfect.  It can be lonesome.  Papa and I are out here by ourselves without people around most of the time.  Our phone service has ceased working.  We no longer can receive calls and can make outgoing calls after many, many tries.  Getting anyone to help with housework or repairs is nearly impossible.  Going to the grocery is a three hour round trip trek.  We get our mail once a week to ten days.   

Yet, we look at either side of our house and we have amazing views of 100 miles away, of at least nine mountain ranges on most days.  We see a big sky during the day that fills with stars at night.  We often see wildlife around our house.  I saw antelope and deer just yesterday.  We enjoy our home, in spite of its faults.  We are incredibly fortunate to be in the right place for us at this time in our lives.
