Just a Fool to Believe in Dreams

Grant (from New Zealand) and Debie (from the USA) have lived for many years traveling to different countries for work. After several years of moving and having to leave friends behind, they decided to find land in the American Southwestern (which is similar to the climates they have lived in) and build a ranch.

In the past, many of our friends and family members have thought us odd, but now they are convinced we are just plain crazy. As a reality check we have added a link for psychological counseling and spiritual guidance services.

After several months of searching the internet and flying off to places like Roswell (the alien theme was kinda cool), we found a plot of land outside of El Paso, Tx. The land is beautiful and El Paso (being a border land town) fits the type of cross-cultural lifestyle to which we have become accustomed.

This and the related web pages tell the story of what it takes to move to a town where you know no one, buy a bit of desert, plan a ranch and make a dream into a reality - all while trying to keep four adolescent cats out of trouble. They are our only ranch animals. None of the four have ever been outside before. Although they are interested in 'what's out there' (curiosity killed the cat???), they are in for a real shock. (from left to right: Trixi, Jack, Wobbles and Patches). Our Namibian cats are in MA with Debie's mother waiting for their new home to be built.
