Welcome, Sarah, to the best place to be in the world. We would like to hear a bit about you and why you joined us. Whatever the reason, welcome.
Thank you for the welcome! :)
Well, my name is Sarah and i live with my husband Louis and our 4 children. We live about 12 miles west northwest of Howard and we're in the process of building up a fiber farm.
I stumbled across this board quite by accident and I thought, Wow, how cool!! I don't get much time to interact with others from the area and I thought this would be a neat way to get to meet more people from Elk county and hopefully make more friends.
:)
Hi Sarah! Glad to see you posting. :) :) You are welcome to visit anytime, and stay as long as you like, and post often as possible! :) This place is open 24/7. Pleased to have you with us.
Hey, Sarah, you are out in my used to be territory. Just where are you? if you don't mind telling us. My folks moved to a farm 7 miles NW of Howard in 1947. My brother now owns it, tho he doesn't live there. And my husband and I owned a pasture a mile north of that until a few years ago. Bet I wouldn't have any trouble finding you.
Welcome, Sarah, to our web site. We have fun here and we want you to have fun, also. Please join us often.

Hello. :)
I am out on road 9 diagonal from where Bill and Kate Rader use to live and now Tana and Steve Harrod live there. We've lived here 3 years now. Although we were out here every weekend for several years before that building our house.
I know exactly where you are. but I thought it was just 7 miles from Howard. I will have to count the miles again. We owned the pasture just north of you that the Wedmans own now and my brother owns south of you across the road on the west side. My parents bought that in 1947 and I finished my senior year at Piedmont. I know Bill and Kate very well. Bill and my husband were buddies from way back. Welcome to the neighborhood.
It may only be 7. I'm going by how far Mr. Rader told me it was. I've never actually counted it.
Are you one that has the property with the camper and such back in the trees? It's a beautiful piece of property! Lots of trees and the pond. I love it. I go jogging by there all the time down Pioneer. :)
We adored Mr and Mrs Rader! We couldn't have asked for better neighbors. We were sad to see them go. The Harrods are very nice too though. We love it out here!!!
Welcome Sarah!!
Yes Bill and Katie (as I have always called her) are wonderful people. Katie and I go back a LONG way...we were classmates all of our high school years. We graduated from Longton High in 1947.
I married my wonderful husband the very next morning and we will be celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary on the 16th of May.
I know you will love the clean fresh air in Elk County. Enjoy visiting with us on the forum.
My brother has the property with the camper and such back in the trees south of you. You should have seen it while my mother was living there. There was a big 2 story farmhouse with a wrap-a-round porch. It burned during the years that it was out of our hands. My mother sold it and my brother bought it back after the house burned. That pond has been fished by 4 generations with the 5th generation coming up.
I just counted the miles on the county map and I counted 10 miles to the corner south of you. Bill was closer to right than I was. So now we know.
Hey there Sarah.

We LUUUUUUUVE people who post.

Thank you.
I tend to be a chat board addict. :D
And it's really neat when the people I'm chatting with are so close to me. :D

Oh I'll bet it was beautiful!!! Too bad it burned down. :( He must be the one that drives the white station wagon looking car? He's always real nice and waves when he goes by. We usually see him on weekends.
Yep. That would be him. Here is a picture of him and his wife. I introduce to you Dale and Nadine Hancock.
Hi Sarah! So glad you've joined us here! I'm curious....what is a fiber farm? Are you growing Metamucil or celery or jute or what? LOL (I have a twisted sense of humor.)
Sarah,
I live on Road 14 just about a half mile south from Rock road. We go by your house to feed cattle that are pastured on west of your place. We have a son who is 2.

We are building up to Blue Face Leicester sheep, Angora goats, Angora rabbits for their wool for hand spinning. :) We have a pair of Blue Face Leicester sheep right now and we have 4 more coming from Ohio in July and we have 9 Angora goats coming from GA and a buck from Missouri. And we have 21 Satin Angora rabbits. The Blue Face Leicester sheep have some of the finest wool for hand spinning with a strong natural crimp and it's shiny.

Welcome to the forum!
My husband said he knows where you're located. He had to locate the phone line over by your house. :)
I suspect if you drive by our house than you've seen kids and dogs in the road more than once. :P LOL
Well, anytime you come by, feel free to stop in and say hello.
Yes, the phone line...Wow, that took them forever to put in. We had the line, but then it took them about two weeks to finish it. Then, we finally got it all hooked up and Billy (my fiance) accidentally tore it up when he was doing some dirt work around the house with the skid loader. I swear, if it's not one thing, it's another!
I can relate to you with dogs, and kids and every other animal in the yard! Although, we only have one child, we have 3 dogs, 5 cats, 11 horses, and cattle. Sometimes I don't know if I'm coming or going!
If you've got a young one around the age of 2, we should set up a "play date". Lane doesn't really have any boys he can play with out here, he's surrounded by little girls!

We have 4 children. A girl 9, Boy 8, Boy 2 and girl 1. :) My little boy Mathias will be turning 3 on the 13th. He is a handful!! He might like another little boy to play with his age. I don't know. He can be kind of shy sometimes.
I'm sure glad you clarified that "fiber" thing for me, Sarah. All I could picture in my head were acres and acres with rows and rows of All Bran and Citrucel packages. So it's the textile kind, eh? Well, maybe my "twisted" humor isn't so "warped" after all! LOL Sorry, it was all I had "weft" to say!

Oh It's OK. I have kind of a warped sense of humor too. ;D
Sarah, Guess I somehow forgot to add my "howdie" to the rest. I've been enjoying your posts though... And along with Indygal ~ glad you cleared up that "fiber farm" thing. I hadn't heard it called that, but it makes sense and I suppose there's lots of things I haven't heard of yet. (Don't tell my kids, I've spent decades convincing them I'm the smartest woman in the world)
