There really are no words...

Our story has been fabulous. We have been thinking about building our own on our ranch in Nebraska so we stayed to see if its what we really want. It is and so much more. We fished in the pond and caught seven fish, all of which but two we threw back. We cooked the two we kept in a banana leaf with a pepper we picked from the garden along with rosemary we picked too. We also made tea from dried Hibiscus flowers and mint found in the garden. We cooked around eight eggs during our stay. All harvested from the chicken coop.
