I was lucky to buy a house in Kennedyville away from all the development. It is now Winter 2013 and I am managing the farm I used to . We are planning to buy a farm and start Dairying in Central Pennsylvania again. My sons are all home from the milltary in one piece thank God. The sadest thing is Karen passed away tragically in September 2012 I will miss her forever. She wanted to start farming again so much so we plan to carry on.
