AMEN!!!!

Of course, that would work for me cause we already have the wagon
and horses.........

In our town horses are still considered transportation. I kid you
not.

Must be those of Swiss-German descent?

Hell no. These are Indiana born and raised for generations and
generations.


Several groups have come to our area as well. It's like really
kinda weird when met, like a step back in time.


Nope. It's just a small town in Indiana. I'm in the heart of town.
There's the post office, town hall, our only restaurant and four
grain silos. Oh, yeah, and the tornado siren. There are no stop
signs/lights on Main Street. I keep my horses in the heart of town
and I can ride them right to the door of the post office if I feel
like it.

If you run across anyone named "Flora" in Indiana, they're
probably kin to me. My g.g. Uncle John Flora founded the
town of Flora, Indiana. My family back there is Mennonite.
(And Swiss-German.)

Cool. I'm not from Indiana and have only been here five year so I'll
have to look up where that is.


Grandpa Flora grew up horse farming back there. I come
by these tendencies to garden, farm and raise livestock
honestly : )


Not bad heritage, is it? I'm a farmer at heart but grew up in a city. I
keep trying to talk farmers into letting me run their heavy equipment
under the guise of "helping them" but, really, I just want to be a farmer
driving a big ol' John Deere.
