I personally think you live in the most wonderful homestead I can image. Her in the north part of Belgium we have very high prices for land and houses, We are very lucky to have some land ( 900 square feet ), but most of the houses here don't come with much land, if they do, they are priceless.<br /><br />I really hope you can find a beautiful new place for you and your family. <br /><br />warmly<br />Ilse<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-60572663494209962722014-06-25T21:37:07.582-04:002014-06-25T21:37:07.582-04:00Ozarks SW Missouri!

I too hope that you can find peace in whatever change and direction life takes you. I always have to put a vote in for Colorado.

One thing I love is that Oklahoma has parental rights in their constitution, so homeschooling is considered a family matter. We don't register or check in with anyone about our homeschooling. I'm sure you all will figure out just the right place for your family :)Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319169693933161086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-81618302542160501672014-06-24T15:48:54.018-04:002014-06-24T15:48:54.018-04:00but obviously Texas is far an maybe a culture shoc...but obviously Texas is far an maybe a culture shock lolMeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14924375277167951392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-13378147543701079952014-06-24T15:47:58.464-04:002014-06-24T15:47:58.464-04:00Texas.

Homeschool can either opt out of testing for religious reasons OR have a teacher sign off that the student is progressing appropriately (I do this for people, btw). Strong regional culture of music and instrument making. Excellent wholesale or retail for produce (I sell our blueberries and do very well! I have friends who are completely self-supporting doing this, but they have wood heated greenhouses.)<br /><br />Looks like you have lots of options! Good luck! <br /><br />And, about selling the house.. you were looking when you bought it, so someone else will be, too! :)<br /><br />mattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06749881104429358524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-35042520426760417642014-06-24T13:53:54.143-04:002014-06-24T13:53:54.143-04:00I'm not sure how land prices here compare to r...I'm not sure how land prices here compare to rural Vermont, but East TN has lots of land for sale at what seems to me to be very good prices if you aren't tied to the city and commuting for a job. And as far as homeschooling freedom, TN is full of homeschoolers and they are one of the more lenient states when it comes to State Mandated testing (none is required!) and in choosing how you want to homeschool. You can register with the local school board, (in which case you do have to do testing every few years) or you can register with any one of many private schools like an online school or a local Christian school are two popular options. We use an online school, and with them, testing is optional. If you are interested in any more info, just send me an email! Hope your house sells soon! hugs~RachelRachel~At the Butterfly Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02139513803765913187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826587706231091602.post-71494001021280199332014-06-24T13:23:44.248-04:002014-06-24T13:23:44.248-04:00Lovely list- you are so blessed.
