A little more info

I guess I should add that our own lives mirror an interesting trend in America. We have moved back to the original house that Bob's great grandparents lived in. They moved to Corvallis in 1910/1911 and grew livestock for the meat market they had downtown. We have fruit trees, grapes, and many flowers that have survived from Grandmother Mary's planting. The house and farm need lots of tender loving care and we are just the people to do it. Here is an interesting article from the New York Times about this trend, and it even takes place in my hometown.  http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/us/06farmers.html?_r=2
