Ya'll, we had a FFA Meat order to deliver to a fella rancher this evenin. This is his new house he's buildin. This guy is sooo down to earth and this house just is soooo out of charactor for him. He's in his mid 60s, real nice fella, his folks started out dairy farmin, and switched to beef cattle in the 60s probably. He plays the organ at our little church. He's never been married, has no brothers and sisters, his dad is in his 90s and has a nice 3 bedroom home, that he's lived in all these years with his parents. I had my camera and couldnt resist takin a picture. Apparently this man reallyyyyyyy knows the cattle business to make enough money to build this.

10 Chiminy's!!!! Servants quarters, I have no idea whats in the back yard, but my oh my........ :shock:

Just a point of reference as to how big that thang is...there's a bull dozer parked in the front yard. The house is over 10,000 square feet.

Maybe that was a dream he has always had, and he made it come true?

WOW is right!

It is, I know, he's been collecting antique furniture and storing it in barns and such for years and years.

When we were pulling up go go across the cattle guard, it's still another 1/2 mile to the house...it sits up on a fairly tall hill, over looks his whole place, but it just was a moment to sit there n say...."WOW" I just wish for a man as sweet as he is and down to earth as he is , that he had someone to share it all with.

 

[Faster horses]

Well, Lilly, do you know any sweet, down-to-earth older ladies?

Some people do thing that strange to everyone else.

We have a man in Colorado that is building a huge stone castle all by himself.

Don't know whether the castle will get done before he leaves this earth.
He get a periodic write up in the state newpapers.
