Peanut Butter Ponderings

Snowbelle Edition

Let's sell all of our belongings and move to a farm where we will grow boysenberries and make preserves.  That is a hard life, the preserves-maker.  The growing, the picking, the jars.

Or maybe we will run a general store.  One day our son will take over.  We will sell everything from bags of flour to bolts of fabric and horse feed.  We could even have a soda fountain.  Sell toys for the holidays, special toys.
I would make clothes with our daughters and the shop would sell hats.  You would wear suspenders and have rolled-up sleeves.  
We would have an apartment over the store for those nights when we are too overworked and too tired to go home.  Our home is a mile out of town.  A one story house with a barn behind it.  We own three horses.  What else do we own?  Four cows - no we only need one.  Just one for our milk.  It's a lot to own your own general store and churn your own butter.

I'm spent.
