April 20, 2008: Ten years ago in May…

  Our family had to pack their bags and move to Metropolis.  Removed from our farm during the great farm crisis of the 1980s.  Thousands of farmers lost their land and homes.  Now, 10 years later, we are waiting to see if we can get the farm back.  May of 2008!!!! 

  One couldn’t have made this story up if they tried.  These are the days that I doubt any of my family will forget.  It looks like a very special birthday for me – and mother’s day for my mom and sisters.  If only grandmother could see all of this.  She would say "oh boy".
