I only had weekends on my grandparents' farm, but everything you shared with us ... me too!

I can't wait to read it again in your next book.

Thanks for these memories, Maury. I grew up in a small town, but my cousins lived on a farm a few miles away and they had dairy cows when I was young. It was always an adventure hanging out with them. I was always sad that my children didn't get to have that experience. Thanks for sharing!

That upbringing is why you are so cool Maury. I hate to hear they had the farm taken from them like that. Not far from me there is a growing town with a farm right off Main Street. They are popping up apartments all around him, I am sure he’s been offered a pretty penny for his property. It’s pretty cool that it’s still there. A testament to some things being more valuable than money
