    Home on the Farm

    August 18, 2013 - By ldurben@charter.net

    This weekend we spent part of our time at “The Farm”, where I grew up. This is where my parents have lived for over four decades, and where my brother and his family also live. My parents built their house while I was a baby and we moved there from…
