We don't live at the farm just yet. This is to be our retirement home. When we bought it in 2007 we thought, "Ok, in 3 to 4 years Francis can take early retirement, I'll find a job in Park Rapids, Bemidji, Detroit Lakes, where ever and we'll move up here!" Well, due to the economic down turn, the falling prices of real estate and the hit we've taken on our pensions, we probably won't be moving for 5 to 6 years. Let's pray for a turn around soon!
In the meantime we spend as much time as we can at the farm, fixing up and painting the house, removing dead trees, mowing (there's lots to mow), watching the deer in the pasture. And of course driving the tractor! (Oh yes, that is a RED tractor you see! and yes there is a GREEN one but it's just not as pretty and not practical for hay rides....)
The rest of our time is spent in the Cities keeping up with work and home and church.
