Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
See that group of trees on the left?
Now, see the big tree just on the left of the highway?
Turn left and come up the driveway.
Pass the wildflower meadow there on the right.
Let’s sit on the front porch for a while and enjoy a hot cuppa. (We shall try to ignore the air-soft war being waged among the various teen-aged boys present.)
Then we can go out to the hay barn and imagine where my boys will build the chicken coop and put the rabbit cages.
Next we can have a look at the old cow shed and imagine a happy little herd of milk goats frolicking about.
It’s gonna take a little bit of perimeter care, but it’s just perfect for the small stock farm I’ve longed for, lo, these many suburbia years!
I think I’m gonna need some farm boots!
This is the place we’re moving to in June. It’s a long story and I am too excited for all those words right now, I’ll fill ya in on some of the details later.
For now though . . .
- 25 miles from church and work
- 11 acres
- 4 bedrooms
- 4 living areas (wild, eh?)
- 3½ bathrooms
- large laundry room
- huge closets and lots of ‘em
- converted garage
- covered porch, patio and gazebo
- fenced playground
- fenced, in-ground pool
- basketball court
- archery range
- knife throwing range
- wildflower meadow
- garage
- small chicken coop
- shed
- hay barn
- cow (goat) shed, fenced (mostly)
- fenced vegetable garden area (huge!)
- go-cart track
- pastures
- no neighbors
I’m sure I’m leaving some things out, but the butterflies in my stomach are on parade after having made that list for ya, so I’m gonna leave it at that.
God provided the perfect place for our family to spend the next two or three years.
Rejoice with us!

Hi Melanie,
I know, it’s every boys dream! And, yes, I wish y’all could come for a visit!
I started reading this post to my boys…
the 11yo begged me to stop reading, saying dramatically, “have you no mercy???”
the 14yo said with much enthusiasm, “Congratulations! Can we come for a visit?”
We are so happy for you… and just a wee bit envious. We are very thankful for where God has us right now, no doubt, but the call of wide, open spaces still beckons
Oh, MotherHen, I am so thrilled for you and your family! What a blessing from a good God who gives good gifts to His children! Thanks for the sneak peek. Can’t wait to hear the details and see more pics!
Mama Olive, I’ll explain in another post.
Hi Mommaofmany,
I sure thought you had a place in the country. I guess the chicken feet threw me off.
Ha ha ha! I don’t think Kim would agree that Texas is flat at all!
Maybe diverse is a better word.
I was wondering how your move plans were shaping up!!! LOVELY!!! And all the kids will have rooms! So will the milk goats! Wahoo!!! And goodness it’s flat in Texas.
What a lovely place! I am green with envy right now, truthfully. It’s just where I’d love to go! As it is, I homestead on our tiny bit of neighborhood green.
Congratulations!
What a beautiful place! A real blessing. (why only 2-3 years?)
Delightful! A dream come true.
What a blessing! I wish I was your neighbor, with a very similar place.
Go God! How awesome is that! I was wondering ever since the cryptic face book post about “knowing in two weeks.” I am so excited for you and can’t wait to hear the details.
Wow now that is a huge blessing!! please share more pic’s when you can…wow wow wow!
