I own a golden retriever. My dog's name is Snoopy. I love Charlie Brown. I live in NYC. I love the farmer market. I have at least 12 grandchildren.
 I grew up on a farm, but no longer live on a farm. I used to own a farm.  I moved from Virginia to Pennsylvania. I live in a rural area. I like to read. I have at least two children that are adults now and no longer live in the house I live at. I have fibromyalgia.
What do you miss about your farm? Probably the calm evenings. Not many people around, you know, it's totally different in the city.  It totally is! The city can be just so busy 24/7 that it seems it's never really quiet. I bet moving away from the farm felt like a huge change. What made you leave? We left because of the children. It was great living on a farm when I was younger, but the world changed a lot and it was not the life I wanted my kids to have. That makes sense. You feel very connected in the city and very close to things which is nice. Would you ever consider moving back to somewhere rural or is the city your home for life? I think I wouldn't enjoy living somewhere that isn't the city Not sure yet to be honest. It's not as quiet here, but it's much safer and we have nice neighbors. Right now we're glad to be where we are I guess. Why do you only want to live in a city? I think I'd find the country too isolated. Just thinking about being far from other people and from other places makes me nervous.  That's certainly a thing there, yeah. Ultimately it depends on your preferences I guess, a lot of people move out to rural areas after they retire for example. Yeah I think it all depends on what your lifestyle is and how practical it would be. I do think I'd like to live somewhere with a little more space for my dog as the city can be quite cramped especially for pets.  We actually talked about getting a dog, since the kids left and we're lonely sometimes. Maybe a retriever, I always wanted one, what do you think? They are great dogs so I'd recommend it and living in the country would be so great for your dog as they really love their space.  Thanks, we just might get one soon. Already started to think about how we're going to call him. I'll be sure to send you some pics :)
