    So many Christmas cards and I didn't see any duplicates...amazing how many there are! Those turkeys are so funny and the rooster competing with them lol...It was a huge/big deal and hearing you recount it just makes me shiver....tough time had by all. Your generosity of offering the cottage to Jed is huge. Makes this momma's heart happy. Truly was a Random Act of Kindness that totally caught him off guard :) tis the season...love you all

    I'm real happy for Jed because he deserves a home of his own as well. Nothing feels as good as waking up in your own space and feeling blessed to have it.
    Bless you both for blessing him.

    That’s great for both of you. As long as he’s willing to help you absolutely let him live in it and make it a home. I have 10 acres and it’s a lot of work, I only have gardens and small animals, no large farm animals but it’s still hard and this is one thing I know I will have to look at in the future as I am 61 and going blind. Family is great! Hugs, love, and lots of prayers from Texas!

    As a family that lived with my Hubby's father, in his house, for 9 years... I totally understand the "need space" thing. As much as you love each other--- A family needs their space and a grown man needs his space. The cottage was a great solution for everyone.

    That's great Jed is in the BNB. I thought that would happen when Granny K moved out.
    Plans never stop when you have a homestead. When one door closes there is many windows that open.
    Owning a homestead, income is mostly unreliable. Therefore plans are always forming in your head of "what's next"?
    Your children also need an outlet of planning, you might consider they too young at the moment, but the younger they start it becomes second nature to do.
    I'm sure your family will find more avenues and paths to make income. God does bless those who think of others rather than themselves.

    I think you made a great decision for everyone in the family. Everybody needs their "space", even if it is family. Been there, done that, and it didn't last 3 years, so kudos to Jed and your family. Love seeing the puppies, they are growing so fast! God bless all y'all!

    Have you all ever thought about letting people come and camp at your homestead? Off grid of course. I use to camp in my van and LOVED it and I was completely self sufficient. Could go any where and had everything I needed for a fun time. You wouldn't make as much as the AirB&B of course but it would help some and you would still be able to meet new and neat people....just a thought. I so enjoyed meeting you guys at the HOA this year and yes the tinture I bought from you has helped me for sure

    I think you made the right decision to have Jed live in the other house! In this day and age it is ever so important to have family near to help and be there to protect the Homestead! I pray for God's peace, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to be over the whole family to work together to make the Family Homestead flourish! I pray that Jed will help you out whenever you both need it whether it be for helping with building infrastructure or for growing food! May God bless & protect your Family, bless you in all that you put your hands to do, that is done with love, patience and understanding, growing together, edifying and lifting up one another, that put's a smile on Our Father's face! Have a great and wonderful Holiday season, always remembering the Love of Jesus is the Reason for the Season!

You still having an amazing Caravan that people would love to Air B & B as some are thinking of buying land like K&S Getout living in their camper and starting to clear the land with Goats organise water, sewage and power. Your could then still book it out for your own family holidays but give people an authentic experience mate.
