First Post - January 23, 2008

Dear Family ~ We are going to try to meet once a month to stay motivated about how we can assist with the homestead projects! Let us know if you have any ideas.


Fred, Annette and Jeanie met for lunch in Greenville on Thursday and here's what we discussed:

First Goal: To Restore the 1 Acre Cemetery Plot, this acre owns itself and can never be used for anything else; therefore, we need to get it looking good and restore the accuracy of the grave sites already there.
Need ideas on fund raisers: Estimated Cost $500-$1,000
Will contact archaeologist to help us locate displaced grave stones
Plants: native to Upstate Area, using flowers such as annuals, daisies, Iris, coneflowers & daylilies
Garden Bench with herb garden nearby
Soil Analysis results are in and Fred will have CU Professor give suggestions
Need help with a 1 Acre Plan Layout including a roadbed to be graded into this area for easier access and to make it accessible in years to come

ROAD TRIP! Goal for 2010 or 2009 - A Family Trip to the British Isles (Scotland, Ireland and perhaps the Isle of Lewis)
Jeanie and Annette are going to contact 2 different travel agencies to get basic itinerary and cost estimates for us to travel to the origin of our ancestors! Start saving now and making that your vacation for one of the next two years!
