Jennifer Watson:  

or Consequences NM for about 5 years - we really loved it there but ended up returning to Ohio to take care of my parents during their health declines - and I ended up being a housing inspector again for about 3 different cities. After my father died and my mother survived hospice and needed the $ for a nurisng home, we sold her house for that and my son and I moved to northern CA to live on an alpaca farm. We had been doing the alpaca biz long distance from Maryland for several years so this was a great opportunity to really get the biz going. However one of the owners came down with serious bad health and decided to sell the farm. At the same time my mother ran out of $. So we ended moving her to KY near her sister and her sister's daughter decided to get into alapacas. She helped us move from CA and let us rent a couple of rooms in her house while we built fencing for her and tried to teach her the biz. But now thank goodness we are under our own roof and labor for ourselves. As my mother declines and we spend a lot of time reminiscing I have enjoyed reconnecting with people from the lakes and THS.
