How true. My Dad never owned a farm, always rented. Had chance to try going back a couple years ago. Even the town name changed. After we all grew up, we went out to seek fame & fortune, never found either one. Youngest sister went to Left Coast in 63, hadn't been back since. So when she came for a visit in 07 we took a little drive to scout the old homestead. Born on farm between Truimph & Ormsby Mn. Town merged with Montery to become Tri-Mont in 58. Yes, we were all born at home. Hospitals are for sick people. Driveway has been moved to opposite side of house, everything else is the same, have some old pics of the place. Moved to Granada in winter of 43-44. Only thing still there is red chicken barn. Dad thought that it was in such bad shape then that he never used it. Rest of the buildings have been replaced. Creek bottom & hillside cow pasture completely grown over with trees. Moved to Sherburn in winter of 47-48. Big barn has been lowered & made into machine shed/shop. Everything else replaced, or just gone. Current owner has sold off crop land to neighbors, still has 5 acre building site. After Dad died, Mom bought a house in nearby Dunnell. That has since surned down. Now the irony of it all. We hated farming, couldn't wait to move to town. Now retired, I live on a lakeshore. Have tractor/loader to clear snow from my 150 foot driveway. Brother retired to a 30 acre patch in Wi. Has same number of tractors as Dad had in his whole life. Hated horses, now has 3 hay burners. Such is life. Willie
