Miss Eff's through new eyes.........................
When new people come to the farm, I worry about its "shabbiness".
Its old.
We're old.
There is nothing new or slick here.
The house needs a paint job. The barn needs a new roof. There are trees to cut down and chicken coops to mend.
We have no 52" big screen television. No dishwasher. No air conditioning. Lots of books. Lots of old doilies and embroidered tea towels. Just old things cuz they work well in our lives!
I don't worry as much as I used to. This is who I am. Pretenses are for social-climbers and the insecure. I am a 56-year old woman with gray hair, sun-damaged skin and residual effects of too many of Sheepie Neighbor's chocolate chip shortbread cookies! (Damn! Those things are good!!!!!!!)
So it was with great joy and pleasure ...... that I discovered that a city girl from New York even, got Miss Eff's!!!! 'Cept I am certain that Zan was born in a barn with the rest of us farm girls!!!!!
Zan --- you are welcome here any day, any time!
Love ya, sista!!!!!

Hope, hope, hope to see you in a couple of weeks.
There's also nothing wrong with having or not having certain things - as long as you are happy, healthy, and not hurting anyone - WHO CARES?!?

I'd love to come to Miss Eff's and I sincerely hope that I get to do so this summer. I want to take pictures and blog about it and I really hope that you won't mind. :)
And Barb -- I can't wait to meet you. We are twins in so many ways. I'm hoping for a beautiful day for you. And maybe some flowers! ;)
I'd pay good money and so would the city folks like me to come out. I think us slickers are all tired of all the modern hype anyway!! :)
HUGS and I miss ya!
