Perhaps you are too young to think about that, but if you are reading this, I bet your parents are not! We have a one story ranch home of around 2300 square feet located on 6 acres within 4 miles of stores, medical care, entertainment, gasoline stations and more. Where will you live when you grow old? I’m not. Giving back.
