The house is so big we honestly thought it might be a hotel when the building first started. Since then they've added a nine hole golf course, a huge pond area, plus a more standard sized house for the groundskeeper. Oh, rumours have it they have a bowling lane in their basement.<br /><br />Take care, stay well!Maebemehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706540456819503068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-2894688827364266272021-03-29T09:19:52.612-04:002021-03-29T09:19:52.612-04:00I want to drive over the roads into the distance.I want to drive over the roads into the distance.Marie Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882722634065183364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-88783293957639469502021-03-29T07:09:49.974-04:002021-03-29T07:09:49.974-04:00Nice tour, and it is also nice to see the escarpme...Nice tour, and it is also nice to see the escarpment.Anvilcloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974744042579564912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-27484370634585106372021-03-29T06:39:15.326-04:002021-03-29T06:39:15.326-04:00You're right.

Except the people who live there don't do the actual farming, my friend's husband does. My friends own a small heritage farm of their own where they keep their livestock, but all the cropping is done on these rented fields. I think a lot of that is going on.
