Biography:
My husband and I moved here last December from near the sleepy little town of San Luis
Obispo in California. My husband is originally from New Zealand and he wanted very much to
migrate back there in order to purchase a bit of rural property. We had both become uneasy
with living our lives so dependent on the kindness of government and wanted to become more
self-sufficient. Owing partly to a significant flux in the currency exchange rate – not in our favor
– and partly to my own cowardice at the notion of becoming an ex-patriot, we decided that
moving to Oregon was an excellent compromise to New Zealand. While we both have early
family ties to farm living, we have neither of us enjoyed such a life in adulthood. And, in my
case, knowing how to grow copious amounts of winter wheat in Montana had not well-prepared
me for trimming the hooves of llamas. So, there have been some missteps. Still, we’ve
delighted in every moment both good and bad, fulfilling our lifelong dreams along the way and
perhaps, some amusement may be gleaned from the sharing of our exploits. (Fall 2005)
