Blisswood Ranch

What was supposed to be a relax, laid-back time at a ranch turned out to be one of the most exciting and fun experiences I had. We booked a house at one of the bed and breakfast places over the weekend. We got nothing much on our itinerary except to go horseback riding and to have a bbq on Sat.

Horseriding was canceled for Tim and I. We decided to do it in Yellowstone instead. And b'cos of that, we had the experience of a lifetime. We followed Kathy as she went around feeding the farm animals. Emus, ducks, geese, horses, wild pigs, potbelly pigs, donkeys, deers, alpaca, goats, chickens....I am a person that is never fond of animals (strangely except for a particular breed of monkey) yet I enjoyed myself tremendously.

The ranch wasn't your typical commercial kind of farm. Kathy and Mike were extremely personable. Both of them used to be corporate executives. Mike used to be an engineer and worked in one of the oil and gas companies. Then one day, both of them decided they wanna retire and they wanna retire at a time when they could still enjoy life and do things they want. So they quit their job, became beach bums, then got themselve an RV and began traveling around the US, moving from one RV park to another. Eventually they decided to settle down and work at this farm. But it's only gonna be temporary. Their next move would be to do some sailing....What a free-spirited couple!
