Introduction

We are an empty nester couple with a twelve acre ranch about 15 minutes from Mineola, TX. We have two dogs that will require the most attention but also have five cows that you will need to feed cubes to daily and 12 chickens (daily eggs!)

Home & location

We live on a small ranch just outside of Alba, Texas (we are closer to Mineola than Alba). Neighbors are within walking distance, but far enough away that you really don't hear or see them. All three bedrooms have king size beds (fourth
