Almost hit a deer in our driveway last night

csb

the brag is ever so subtle

I wish you were banned

are you the one living in a box with snakes and a book?

Totally unhumble brag below.

I own hundreds of books because I am a former librarian and a teacher. I also collect and donate books to needy schools, nursing homes and prisons.

I also collect very old book including one from 1927 about hunting and wildlife in Louisiana.

Yet another self bragging post

We do not live on a large property, however a family friend allows my boys to bow hunt and rifle hunt on his 900 acres. This allows for them to be able to use an ATV and travel less than a mile to enter the property. We are very lucky to have that arrangement!

(Warning: The facts here may be seen as bragging, subtle or not and as too long. But you have been warned, so stop reading right here if this offends your delicate sensibilities, but be sure to downvote before leaving )

For to who hate me or my posts, sorry about that, I never personally attacked or insulted anyone. If you hate my posts, you are free to skip them. As a Quaker, I strive to live a humble, basic life and to not make enemies or engage people in fights. My apologies to any who were offended, annoyed or in any other way inconvenienced by my posts. That is never my intent.

Now to explain the property:

The entire property is well over a 100 meandering and diverse acres. Property is on either side of the levee/highway. 4 generations live on the property and the 3 houses are about half a mile apart.There are a few large pastures for the cows, horses, sheep,various birds, etc. There are also many pecan trees.

We (husband and I) claim about 25 acres to keep tamed and used for our purposes (house, barn, hay storage, tractor shop, etc). My husband's parents do the same. Our son recently married and received his 25 acres also.

There is also the property we own on and over the levee which is adjacent to one of the very well known hunting clubs which TD members have discussed wishing they were a part of. It is also part of a popular body of water where many camps are. The camps rent the lot yearly from our family member and build their own camps.

While I have seen these locations pop up in TD conversations as places they would like to own/hunt I would never identify myself as being in the family that owns property here because I don't care to be identified. But in reality, a few of the TDers here DO know who I am.

So hopefully that clears up the discrepancy on the # of acres we have. It is very diverse. The 3/4 mile road runs along side the property past all the houses and now to the newest home of our son.
There is also another 1/4 mile or more for yet another remote home to be built.

My life and finances are not hardly braggable. We live on less than $1000 a month. We do not have cable, we rarely eat out, we don't buy fancy things, have credit cards or owe money on anything including property,cards and such. Our money goes into working our land and living a very rural life,

Also, ironically, in real life, I make a good living as a writer and have many fans. Maybe my writing as a living accounts for my long posts and I apologize.
