Life is interconnected and so are the topics on this blog. From the garden to the backcountry, these are the the experiences that bring astonishing joy to my life of voluntary simplicity in Montana.
I teased a friend in her late 50s that her family had a compound. All their houses were in the country, on 2 acres to 30 acres, and all lots adjoined. Then, there were the relatives that lived so close, like within a mile. It seemed nice in many ways.
I live close to 2 of my 3 sisters; less then 20 miles between us and I see them about once a year if that. They are just so deeply involved in their lives and with the people they choose to surround themselves with that they leave no time for family. It's really quite sad. And I'm a good bit older than them as well - 5 years and 16 years. One sister teaches as USC and drives right past where I live to get to work. I'm glad your relationship with your sister's is closer in heart.
