We have the wonderful opportunity to live on the Bell Patch, a Grandfathered plot of land, that has the atmosphere of a farm. It was a farm once and now we the descendants of Lowell C Bailey and his wife Mayme Marie have the blessing of being stewards of this oasis in the dessert with its own well.
I have always had the dream of raising as much of our own food as we could and being as self sufficient as we could. We are a long ways away from that dream, but I am committed to making this desirable spot more productive and desirable. It takes a lot of work. We have no hired help and most of our children are raised and raising their own little ones. My dream is to maintain a "farm" that my grandchildren can come to and experience.
The First Presidencyof the Church-of-Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints has stated that, "Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of faith, prayer, repentance, forgiveness respect, love, compassion, WORK, and whosesome recreational activites."
The Grandchildren helped, enjoyed riding in the truck, and playing together. Galen took lots of great pictures.
We appreciate all those that came and helped. It was great fun for us to watch our children work together. We had a lot of fun. THERE IS ALWAYS MORE TO DO:)
Son in law Dennis Letner was a terrific foreman! He came early and stayed late and we appreciate his leadership and sacrifice of time.
