Hello from Colorado

Post: # 51837Post CO Mama »

I just found your site through a friend from another homesteading forum.

A little about boring old me. I homeschool my 3 children, 1 boy (14) and 2 girls (9 & 7). My DH & I own 2 carpet cleaning companies in CO. We just moved back to CO from small town Missouri. This is the first time we've lived in a city for a very long time and we're missing cows and pastures. So now we're going to try to be self-sufficient in a beautiful rental house on a postage stamp sized city lot. Wish us luck!

Hi to you CO Mama, from the other side. Welcome to the forum. It will be interesting to see how you get on. Keep in touch.

Thanks y'all.

Bonniegirl, I suppose the western slope of CO is cowboy country but I'm originally from Texas, the original cowboy country of the southwest. Well, at least we like to think Texans are original. :wink:

Thanks for the welcome y'all.
