Re: Why do you live where you live?

I put a home on my grandfathers farm land. There is about 40 acres, most of what my dad owns now. I bought 5 acres off of him when I was about 20. Growing up the hill from him, I always wanted to live over the field from his house. I just wish I would have waited until I was a little (or a lot) smarter before building - not a big fan of two story houses after owning one. The original farm house still stands and they ran milk out of it as the family business. My great grandfather died in WWII on his way home after being discharged. The milk house stayed in the family until it was more convenient to buy in the store I guess. I have a sentimental tie to my land. Here in eastern PA we have beautiful fall weather. The sunrise and sunsets are nice and its a nice quiet place for the kids to grow up. I always wanted to move to Wyoming though. Maybe someday i'll hit the lottery and have a place out there as well.
