Brande~~
I read and re-read your post. I could "be there" with you on the farm...feel a loving family and treasured memories of the past, and those that will become tomorrow's stories of a life that makes sense. As you wrote, " ...house isn't just a home, it is magical place...."
CONGRATULATIONS on your "win" in the contest...you already have "won" on the Family Bradford Farm.

Thank you so much for sharing your family experience and wonderful farm history. My husband's father has control of the farm now (about 150 years) but we don't know if we will be able to purchase it from him. Great job by Mit to ensure his family would continue to enjoy their farm.
I apologize for just getting back to respond. I have actually been out all week sick! I appreciate everyone stopping by and reading the post. When I printed it and showed it to my father-in-law, he was extremely touched. This weekend, we having a camp out at the farm for our little boy and some friends. We will be fishing, riding the pony, walking down the creek, and late at night "bear hunting".
Ann... Thank you! These are some of my favorite photos too.
Danny... Thank you!
Paula... I hope that we a good number of more years to set some traditions and build memories for our children at the farm. As a kid, we lived on a farm, and those are by faor my fondest memories.
Kelly...If you ever come to Georgia, let me know and I will take you to the farm, then you will experience what it is all about.
Thesa...Thank you. I kind of slid into the contest at the very last minute. I think that all the stories were winners. You do get a little insight into people through these types of contests.
Sharon... The Christmas tradition is a great time, the only problem is this....Its a night when ALOT of extended family members come together, and every year, you still find yourself saying, "Now who are you" :-)
JaneAnne....You also have an open invitation to the farm, all you have to do is come to Georgia!
Neal...LOL First, thanks for bringing it my attention that it was featured! Second, it is a farm, but we have the push button thing going on there too. There arent dirt floors anymore :-)
Cyndee....Thank you. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I enjoyed seeing how my father-in-law was touched. When he mentioned it to me, I think he was almost speechless for a minute.
Michelle...Thank you, and I will be calling you in the next couple of days. Today is my first real day working this week, and I have soooo much to do.
Bob and Carolin....Thank you.
Christopher.... I love the way things use to be. I think that I would have liked things when life was so much more simple. We enjoy going to the farm and getting away from the hustle of the city. Anyone who comes to the farm is just overwhlemed. We have had my little boys birthday parties out there for the last few years, and the parents enjoy it more than the kids. Its extremely peaceful.
Debbie...Thank you! Ah Grandma's House, so you know where I am coming from :-)
Theresa... Mit spends all weekend, almost every weekend working on something around the farm. he thoroughly enjoys that and it keeps him young. A farm is a lot of work.
Gary,
With all the growth going on in McDonough, it is hard to imagine that a place like this still exists around there. It is even grown where the farm is located, but they are as close as they can get. I am glad that you enjoyed the post.
Ok, I apologize, somehow I missed the last few comments:
Kaye ~ It is a very special place. It is a place where there seem to be no cares in the world. A place where wonderful memories are made for a lifetime.
Chrystina ~ Just mentioning the farm puts a smile on my face. I dont think anyone really understands what the farm means to me. It brings back a lot of memories from my childhood (the good ones). Funny, how something can just warm you up inside everything you think about it.
Karen ~ Karen, there is nothing more special. Thanks for stopping by.
