Hello and welcome! The post was not boring, but quite the opposite. I do think you write well. I think we have some things in common, aside from having spent the precious time you did in the motherland... (haven't made the pilgrimage yet)

I think its great that you put your family first and came back to help your father!

Don't despair you're not alone. There's still a lot of homesteading, traditional minded folk right here in the U.S.

Following and Resteemed.

Oh and by the way. There is a #homesteading tag that you might consider using, I'm sure you'll fit right in!
