Linda and I are celebrating our 45th anniversary today. Will be doing nothing special other than going out to a local diner for dinner and spending the day together.
Went out to the mailbox this morning and there was a large envelope for us. Michigan Historical Society has approved our application for CENTENNIAL FARM! Package included a nice certificate proclaiming that. Farm was purchased by my grandparents, Frank and Hattie Adell on November 11, 1914. From there my dad owned it, and we have held it for the last 32 years. Bet my grand parents would have never thunk! If they were to come back today they would not recognize the place. Would be hard put to find their finger prints on the place. Only part of one building (heavily remodled) remains from their life here. Hope they would be proud of what their farm has become.
A little later we will be issued a centennial farm sign, courtesy of our local power company. We're thinking a family BBQ in celebration the day we put it up.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
