My son is having the same problem. None of the girls around here seem to be interested in the country life. My son works for a neighbor who is almost 30 and unmarried. He told my son none of the girls want to marry a farmer. My sons boss has commercial laying houses. I know being a boy may make things easier, but son is going to start out on his own. He has even bought an 8x10 building to move to my parents old place which I own. He is planning to build on to it as he has money. Maybe when he gets it fixed up nice the rest of us will move home to. He he!!For Christmas he told everyone he wanted lumber. Not the typical teen request. He did get several gift cards from Lowes and used them to help buy his first chainsaw. Just hang on to your dreams Elizabeth. Make them happen one step at a time.Who knows at one of those fairs or farmers market you just might find Mr. Right. It could happen.
