We are in North Carolina in a mobile home park that we hate, but it is what it is. We collect rainwater and have a small garden, enough for some canning and freezing.  Would love to find a little piece of land with a small house, but wanting to stay in the general area. Husband still has 3 or so years before retiring. I have already retired due to health issues. I sew and crochet a little when I can. Doing what we can where we are.
