42. Get the family farm back...

Bank took it when I was 12...

Never forget that day. Dad on suicide watch...

Horrible. 23% interest in the early 80's... they took my dad's farm, and my two uncles' farms..all within 2 years...

I have a little house now with an acre of land. I have a 30' x 30' garden/food plot.

The amount of food I can grow in that little spot is amazing. I end up giving way more than half away every year...love it.

All I can think about is how much more I could give away if I had that farm back...
