They'll give you an idea of more of the crazy, wonderful things Tom has me doing now.
Tom and Cheryl
We're not your average couple next door, we have no jobs, we travel extensively, and we invest in Real Estate as much for the fun of it as for a way to increase our income. Our life is slowly evolving from the unhealthy to organics, raw foods and healthy herbs. We have 165 organic chickens, and a large organic garden. Our plans for our future new home will be green and earth-friendly.
We love what we do and it shows in the smiles on our faces as well as the carefree attitude we portray to our friends.
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 at 07:10PM A family of coyotes howl in the distance, a gila woodpecker makes his silly little call in the tree outside my window, and I watch with a satisfied smile on my face as my chickens begin to explore their brand new chicken yard.
Friday, March 6, 2009 at 02:30PM So Tom arrived at the airport Thursday afternoon, and checked in. I watched him go through security and disappear down the hallway, hoping there would be no problems. Normally, that would have been the case, but this time things just all went wrong.
Monday, March 2, 2009 at 07:30PM While this blog focuses on what is important to me, I have many interests. So, I decided to create the Vital Health Blog to keep my health-related ramblings in one location.
Monday, January 12, 2009 at 11:46AM The first thing I asked Tom when we departed, was whether he felt it had helped him. He said that he had no pain in his hands or his feet at all, and a pulled muscle in his back from about a week ago was no longer hurting him. Interesting....
Saturday, January 3, 2009 at 10:57AM I wrote yesterday about our new property that was "almost free." Let me show you how that property, or any well-chosen property can pay for itself again and again.
Friday, January 2, 2009 at 10:22PM We're slowly settling into our new life in Arizona, and for us that means accumulating property. I know, I know, they say there's a mortgage crisis going on in America, but that doesn't mean you have to stop buying. Just a little careful decision-making is in order.
Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 04:34PM New Year's Day, 2009. Wow, time certainly flies! We're slowly acclimating ourselves to our new lifestyle in sunny Arizona, and getting on with our new life. Funny, in the last year, more has happened than I want to remember. We closed on the majority of our property in Louisiana, went on a trip around the world, and began our new life in Sahuarita, Arizona.
Friday, February 1, 2008 at 11:59AM I've always loved my pets. They depend on me to provide a loving home, food and a warm place to sleep, and in return they offer their love and sometimes they might save my life. At least on one night in late December, that's what happened!
Saturday, January 5, 2008 at 02:00PM I soon understood that when a person becomes angry with you, he no longer owes you a debt, be it monetary or a debt of gratitude.
Wednesday, January 2, 2008 at 08:30PM A few weeks back I wrote about a homesite we sold in Arkansas, and our intention to do a 1031 Exchange with the proceeds of the sale.
Tuesday, December 18, 2007 at 08:46AM Here are a few things I do to try and keep things in check when we travel. I'm going to keep track of my progress toward a healthier lifestyle, and this is one issue that is going to take a lot of work.
Monday, December 17, 2007 at 08:27PM Ah, the good life! Who would have ever thought that I'd be spending my retirement years traveling the world with a guy so full of adventuresome spirit that there'd never be a dull moment.
Thursday, November 29, 2007 at 12:13PM Nearly two years ago, I went to donate blood and was deferred due to the fact that my blood pressure was too high. Now that was a wakeup call! Soon I was in my doctor's office and was officially diagnosed with hypertension. My doctor gave me blood pressure medication and told me I'd have to take it the rest of my life. My blood pressure was 155/108 and I was terrified. He told me to just get in the habit of taking the medication in the morning, or in the evening, but always at the same time of day so I wouldn't forget it.
Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 09:23AM I must have fifteen thousand photos on my computer, and sometimes I hate that it takes so long to upload a page on my websites when I put too many photos on it. So I've been looking for a photo website I like. Yesterday I spend most of the day uploading photos to Dropshots.
Sunday, November 25, 2007 at 03:43PM Remember when you were a kid, how much fun it was to play Monopoly? I used to love that game! It was a fantasy type of game with real-life implications if you know how to use it.
Saturday, November 24, 2007 at 06:38PM Salads have become a big deal in our house. As we move more and more towards organic foods and a healthy lifestyle, our refrigerator has begun to overflow with the freshest, most flavorful produce your tongue has ever wrapped itself around.
Tuesday, November 20, 2007 at 03:39PM Tom called me a while ago to remind me of his prediction that the huge rise in foreclosures will produce a great need for rental housing. He had been listening to Paul Harvey on the radio and Mr. Harvey was speaking about the rise in apartments being built as a result of people losing their houses.
Monday, November 19, 2007 at 09:10AM Wealth is there for the taking! Sometimes that idea can be hard to grasp, like it was for me. Eleven years ago, when I met Tom, he was successful and I was just a clerk at a truck stop.
Sunday, November 18, 2007 at 08:08PM Who do you know that's sick? When we traveled to Ohio this month to visit Tom's sister, I had some time to think.
Saturday, November 17, 2007 at 11:21PM If you've never experienced the turning of the leaves, you'll understand what I'm about to tell you. Speaking as a southern living person, the yearly changing of the leaves is literally stunning. I had absolutely no idea how breathtakingly beautiful they could be!
Stunning fall foliage
