So much so that now at 3 am, I am going to shower and hit the hay. Couldn’t stop reading. Very industrious family. We moved 45 years ago to a very isolated forest that reminded me of Middle Earth, except Ohia trees aren’t the same. But the feeling of expecting an elf or hobbit jumping out on the trail was always there. That was our road for 4.3 miles. The animals we raised were supposed to be for food but became pets, and the pig uprooted anything I planted. Suzie, our ewe, thought she was a dog and so did Porky. We had fun times but I never want to go back to no utilities, outhouses, a 18 X 25 room for a house. Ice chests for cold stuff. No running water. Showers outside. I give the Atwells a lot of credit because they are truly living off the land. We didn’t . We just lived on the land and enjoyed the solitude. We did eat wild pig, goats and sheep that Jerry would hunt up on the mountain areas, where hunting was allowed. I could only eat it if he smoked it first. This brought back memories and appreciation for what we have now. Aloha ‘oukou.
