Letting Go

Today, I sold the 3 acre tract where our home sat which is in the middle of the 71 acre farm I own. It was difficult, because my parents had lived there nearly all of their 54 years of marriage. They put alot of blood, sweat, and tears into that property, and they were very proud of their achievement. I was proud of them as well.

During the years when many farmers were losing their farms due to foreclosures, my dad held onto his. I feel like a part of them is in that soil, but greater than that, they are a part of me.

I am getting ready to watch American Idol. I really hope that Taylor wins; he is definitely the best singer, and the best entertainer. I do not particularly care for Kathryn's voice, and I do not think she is seasoned enough to do any major recordings. Of course, that is just my opinion.

I went in at 5:00 this morning, so after the show, I am heading straight to bed.

Hope everyone has a great evening!
