Randy had a co-op board retreat last week, which I tagged along for. I'm slowly but surely catching up. I am a "change challenged" person, so I can't imagine the range of emotions you are experiencing right now. I pray that you will find joy in whatever paths are the "next chapter" of your lives. <br /><br />Randy & I are getting closer to retirement. Like yours, our children have chosen different career paths. It is an adjustment to think about being the fifth and final generation of a farming legacy, but as we get older, we become more and more ready to retire. These old bodies just aren't what they used to be! <br /><br />Anyway, you are in my thoughts and prayers!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03030884632849692028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-71871166980150801092019-01-14T23:06:41.235-05:002019-01-14T23:06:41.235-05:00I can only imagine how difficult this decision has...I can only imagine how difficult this decision has been for you and the family. We will keep you in prayer as you go through this transition. I'm excited to see what the Lord has in store for you. Now that you will have a bit more free time, come and visit us and Findlay in AZ.😊Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15112582407971796996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-50516866895538837772019-01-14T10:33:28.543-05:002019-01-14T10:33:28.543-05:00I remember when my Uncle Marcus stopped milking an...I remember when my Uncle Marcus stopped milking and became a rural postman. He was working alone for over 20 years, and like you, rarely was able to leave the farm, we always went there. he had no help, other than his brother helping out at rare times. He stayed on the farm, and planted row crops (not on the cow pastures, though) and then subdivided and sold 40 acres. I have such good memories of going there every week as a child, without realizing the grind he was going through daily. Good luck for you in your new life!

Alica, it's very sad to let go of the farm but it's so much work. It's ok for large families who can take turn so family members can take a weekend off and a little vacation now and then... Otherwise we can suffer burnout.<br /><br />It's good that you are still young enough to find other employment. For me and my husband we are getting old and worn out so it's time to retire. I'll keep you all in my prayers. It will take adjustments for sure. I'm just beginning to settle down in my new more relax routine. It will all work out for you and Jim. <br />I know it will because of your statement on the last line of your blog. "Still Happily Married" <br /><br />Wishing you all the best.<br />Hugs, JuliaJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-19455418492881077392019-01-11T01:05:34.920-05:002019-01-11T01:05:34.920-05:00Will certainly be keeping you all in my prayers.Will certainly be keeping you all in my prayers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814506236617670343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1749684475391974742.post-72069929678337413182019-01-10T18:18:11.947-05:002019-01-10T18:18:11.947-05:00Hmmmmm time for a rebranding!!
