Probably a little mean of me, but it kinda makes me happy when I see one of those 2-5 acre semi rural subdivisions that’s still empty a decade later.

Rocking my baby in his great grandma’s chair on a rug she made. Pretty cool he’s got all his greats on his mom’s side alive.

My father, with 3 kids, has had a competition with a friend that has five kids for the most grandkids. We’ve given him 6 of his 11 grandkids and have put him ahead of his friend 11-10. Not sure it’ll hold, but we did our best 🤣🤣

@braxton_mccoy One of my biggest pet peeves with the whole "back to the land, homesteading movement" on the internet. Why you taking advice from a city slicker that just started doing this? Find some crusty old dude or feisty grandma that's lived it out for 60-80 years and sit and listen!

Where, PRECISELY, is the vibe shift in this area where it goes from Midwest to plains? Not interested in the state line stuff unless you wanna say the MO river between IA and NE is where the vibe changes... Most places have a different break than state line.
