lol, I wish..well, actually, I don't wish yet. The family does have a ranch out in Bidahochi, AZ. They've been living on it for multiple generations and my husband spent most summers out there sheepherding. By some odd twist of fate, my mother in law and father in law's family properties were adjacent to each other though they didn't know it until long after they met as both were living off the reservation. So, the combined property is really quite large and encompasses a couple buttes and a canyon. It is magnificent out here and that is where my Navajo grandmother in law lives, who is a traditional navajo rug weaver. She raises sheep, shears their wool, cleans it, forms it into yarn and dyes it using natural dyes that she collects from the property. Can't get much more traditional than that, lol. She's a fantastic woman and the amount of knowledge she has in her head is just about unfathomable. Unfortunately, she was to get running water and electricity about 6 years ago and it still hasn't happened yet. She lives a very hard life but the family tries to help take care of her.
