About the Gal & Contact Info

To Contact me: andrealyn@hotmail.com

As I was driving home from a Halloween party in Fossil last night, I couldn’t help but take note of the gal I have truly become. How many other gals where out there driving through the desert night sky? Were they too driving back to their little ranches, where the couldn’t wait to check on their little critters, crawl into their bed, and see miles of stars out the big windows? I am talking about gals that at any given moment might have the following contents in their purse: a P-Trap, bag of fence staples, a few tent stakes, a decent pocket knife & homemade chap stick.

I have lived on this 750 acre ranch for about a year & 1/2. I fall more in love it with everyday. With each challenge (and there are a lot of them) I grow so much more as a person, and gain so much confidence and really become so much more connected to this community, this life style, and this real world that exists without television, commercials, and too many pieces of useless plastic!

A lot of times I get blind sighted by all the projects that I need to tackle, and I forget to take note of all the projects I have already accomplished, and that’s really why I write the blog. It helps me step back and say, okay, you are really doing okay girl!  

With each day I get a little more independent and able to make better decisions based mostly on lessons learned from past mistakes. I am also getting a lot better at knowing what to ask for, and how to get it! Lately I have been paying hired hands from time to time to help me design and build a goat house, chicken coop, fences, basic repairs, etc. It’s a lot of hard work, but I am still living a life I used to only dream of!
