Too bad she didn't somehow manage to hang onto the farm but I can understand her needing to get into town.

My grandparents moved in from the farm in about 1920 but they kept the farms and my sister and I each have one now. The home farm had an outhouse which I have used, gone now, but also indoor plumbing at some point.

My grandmother used a huge woodburning stove in town until my dad went and found her a nice electric stove. She used corn cobs for fuel.

If my tenants move out, I think I will move down to the farmhouse. I never liked it too well but I'm fed up with this place, was really nice once. I will just pay someone to plow in winter, have to pay a lot more here.

Nothing beats a home on an ancestral farm!
