Neighbors thinning a bit!

   Neighbor here, raised here, still in home raised in and his son just down a ways in the old home he was raised in after Dad married.  The Dad is divorced and remarried, he and new wife own the farm and a place at the Owensville lake estates.  So what could be better would one think!!  Well the Second Wife has kids in Cape Area, she went and bought a small acreage THERE, the two of them travel there Some and he has sold Some of the land here surrounding his Son and DIL to a Neighbor family, the kids get to remain in that home for now.  He had stroke(s) a few years back, may end up they moving entirely to Cape area.
Age not our friend, several neighbors in failing health or advanced age, some families been here since Hermann Inception and dying out.  Seriously expect to attend several Close Neighbor funerals in short term time.

	Sadly that is the same situation here also. I have been to numerous funerals over the past year of elderly friends and neighbors who have passed away.
	Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God.

	A lot of farmers from 60 to 80 years old. Only a few young ones taking over farms and they just farm the land and rent out the buildings or sell lots of the corners of fields. Lots of city people coming out for there little piece of the country and then they want to change it. Complain about snow removable so they can drive above the speed limit to get to their jobs in town. And heaven forbid we slow them up with a tractor going down the road. There was a school teacher complaining at a town meeting one time when someone was asking for a rezoning for an age business and he was complaining how he got behind slow traffic and would get late to work.

Had one here made that comment, consensus was they leave EARLIER than Right On Time for work and would be all the better. Complaint then was not paid for such time and was asked if got paid for driving with slow traffic! Bottled that one up who then filed resignation, moved into close by larger burg, found that she complains of COL and requires more adequate raises that do not come.
