"We've Sold A Farm"

That's what the auctioneer said, when it was apparent that we had a final bid on Dad's farm. Although it didn't sell for as much as we would have liked, it is somewhat of a relief to have it sold.


It has been a process and a journey as the four of us siblings have worked together to make decisions in settling the estate. We will always have our memories of happy times and events associated with the home place. It is sort of like reading a good book; it is always hard to finish the final chapter. But I am so thankful for the heritage we've had with loving, christian parents and for the harmony we have among our family members. I have come to realize that this is not true for so many families.

My sister Brenda has writtten a wonderful account about the sale, including photos. ( I had my camara, but didn't get very good pics.) After the sale, we were able to stop and wish a Happy Birthday to my Aunt Fannie (I think she turned 94 y/o) and visit with cousins for a few minutes, before going on to the Barn Restaurant to celebrate our sale.

I am glad it is over for you and that you still have warm memories of the years spent there. Now its time for you to get some rest. :0) Dee

The memories will always be there. And I am sure that it is a joy to know that it will continue to stay a farm.

SO glad for the sale and for the extra time you have to invest in some of the varied activities & ministries you participate in. May God fill any empty spots left by this sale with His peace, joy and Presence. And praise God for a family that cooperates, loves and weathers the changes of life together!

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.
