Farm for Sale in Missouri

Update: it has an offer as of Aug. 1st. Hoping it goes well.

Huge barn even though it looks rusty it is HUGE and in very good condition.

For all my readers who long for a farm in a beautiful area of SW Missouri here is one. Friends of ours have to move for medical reasons. They need to be very close to a hospital, which is about 20 minutes away from their current location. One of the perks of this home- High speed internet is available, located just off the main highway 17. Single owner of the house he built-lots of windows! Quiet country road, huge barn in great condition (large enough for an RV and tractors and a few horses) included,cattle nearby, fields of pasture and woods and peace and quiet. Retired farmer, hunters, young family looking for a started farm, artist looking for inspiration this is the place. I have been to this house many times for dinners, get togethers and farming events. This house is very well made and very new. It is located just a few miles south of Summersville, MO. Worth a look if you are looking for country life that is a short drive to civilization.

Donated Baby Quilt

A young mom in our small town of Summersville has been diagnosed with cancer. So our town is putting on a chili supper and auction to raise money for her medical expenses this weekend. Most people in our small rural town cannot afford the overpriced and bloated cost of health insurance, thanks to our government and the insurance industry.

Many have no health insurance and simply go without.

So our town comes together and contributes what they can to help pay for these impending bills.

My neighbor, Nancy and I got together and donated a baby quilt for the auction. I pieced the quilt and Nancy Clayburn http://www.quiltingbydesign.com machine quilted it. She did a fantastic job! It is great to have such talented friends and neighbors.

Ozark New Year's Eve

On Thursday night A. and I drove to our towns Community Center in S'ville, MO to celebrate the New Year. Our center is also a skating rink, deli and stage. There was a live bluegrass band playing for us as we ate hamburgers and desserts. While there were only 16 or so people the band played on. They played "Keep on the Sunny Side", "Danny Boy" and more. There was mandolin, flute, voice and guitar. Our town is blessed with so many multi talented people. It was so relaxing to just sit, eat, visit, chat and listen to good music. That is what bringing in the New Year is all about.
