yea, be careful what you wish for!
I also like peace and quiet....I also dream of having a house similar to what you describe. But somewhere in the USA or latin america (closer to home!)
Anyway, don't take it too hard! I'm 31, I figure I have years worth of work to get to the stage of life you're at. But I intend to enjoy every minute of it!

Happy Holidays to you and all the other regulars as well!
