So you know I mentioned that the farm I live on was teetering on the edge of remaining a farm? Well, today Helen, Merriam, Mary, Brent, Dad, and I all went up to La Crosse and saw a big ol' fancy lawyer about "the partnership". That's my dad, my aunt and my uncle. Anyway, I sat there and tried really hard not to let my eyes glaze over and actually understand what I was hearing for TWO HOURS!!! It was hard. BUT I actually did understand it enough to ask a perfectly reasonable question that no one else thought of! Other than that I kept my mouth shut and took amazing notes. (which if any of my family members are reading I would be happy to type up and email them) I even dressed like a big girl! In my shnazzy new dark wash jeans!! From what I gleaned from the conversation, the farm is in no danger of being taken by the government IF one of the partnership members lands in a nursing home. And it should fairly easy for my father to leave his 1/3 of the farm to his children (I and my siblings). YAY! Huge weight off everyone's shoulder's. Now we are all going to go to the movies for a celebration. See ya later!

Glad that you and Brent were able to go and stand up for us. I would like the notes if you would be so kind as to email them to me.
