grandparents in the country when I was ten, and with that my life course was
forever set. My entire world opened, as I now had forty acres to explore that
ran from the porch to the garden into the woods. Days consisted of working
hard around the farm, playing even harder, watching wrestling on TV with
Grandma, and fetching this and that for Grandpa.
