Poor barn is dead .... or is it?

“The barn is down.

The ranch that witnessed history through the eyes of one of Missoula's oldest families is now ready for 104 homes. But, like my mother taught me--don't ever give up. I still have hope that it will go back up; if not on it's original 1865 spot, then at the very least, next door on the 40-acre conservation easement parcel where the original brick home sits.”

Isn't it nice when our children listen to us?

Yes, daughter # 2 put a fortune cookie saying on the refrigerator, "be persistent and you will win". It stayed there until she was 18 and left home. I think it is a family trait, and they both used it on their mother!
