Re: A Long Lost Concept
It would be nice, we offered some land to all our children. Only one accepted. All he has to do is pay taxes on it. Our land, home, and vehicles are payed for. My husband plans to take early retirement in February.

Re: A Long Lost Concept
My grandmother is 97 and in her own home. This is only possible because she has 14 children to rotate times and be with her 24/7. Even then, it is a stressor on the ones who live close-by.

Re: A Long Lost Concept
It is hard for caregivers with some of our elderly. And I think it's a good thing we have nursing homes, and assisted living places, for those that can't take care of their loved ones.

Sounds like wisdom has been part of the plan for a while now.
That's great news.

Re: A Long Lost Concept
I love the concept. I think I've asked you before if you've seen 'Backwoods Home Magazine'? A good one for your wife, if she shares your dream, is 'Mary Jane's Farm'. Tons of great info in both.

Just got a mailing on that today. I would get it, but my wife is not big on the homesteading type stuff.

Well, I might agree somewhat, but not entirely. But is it a good mag.

Re: A Long Lost Concept
Digging4Truth...Great concept! But, how can this work with the "Big Government" concept that the Dems have established.
Work your tail off, acquire land, build a progressive farm, leave it to all the Kids..... and wait and see how much of it is left after their "Uncle Sam" gets through taking away his part.
God help us!!!! A thieving government, run by thieving politicians, voted in by ignorant voters! Yes, PLEASE...God Helps us!
