The Gisel homestead and farm are sold. Yes, it is sad to close a chapter but we choose to concentrate on these happy highlights.
- The farmers that farmed the farm for many years are the new owners.
- It was dry today during the sale. The night before, there were torrential rains. After the sale there was light rain but during the auction it was dry.
- There was more than one bidder for the farm.
- Donna and Lynn will not have to mow the yard at the farm again. Yay! That is a long grueling task and they have been very diligent and faithful.
- My siblings and their spouses have gone through a lengthy process of settling the estate. This has strengthened our respect, appreciation and love for each other. We have seen God in the details.
- For Dad and Mom, that would be enough. They would be pleased.Two wanna-be farmers—brothers-in-law, Bob and Rog, standing where the barn used to be.
Sisters, Lou and Donna chatting with Dad's good friend, Dean.
In the back is sister-in-law, Sheila chatting with cousin Doyce.
We were happy for every car and truck that pulled in the driveway.
Afterwards my three siblings and I and our spouses and niece, Katie, shared a celebration lunch together.
Life is good.

You've had a QUITE a week - musicals and auction....I hope you are able to sit (or do you ever DO that) and let your body catch up with your spirit! I was especially glad to hear the rain stopped for the auction. I was worried. It interfered with my garage sale, but that was a SMALL thing.
Brenda, Thank you for visiting my blog. It sounds like you've been a very busy woman.And what a wonderful family you have! I noticed that you live or did live in the Chicago land area? Thats where I am originally from!
