<p>My wife, Edith, and I just got back from a Christmas visit to the home of our son-in-law and daughter in the Ohio countryside.  They have a small parcel of land (compared to some of their neighbors) with trees, a pond, and some animals (cats, dogs, goats, turkey, ducks, chickens, and rabbits). They also have six children and are expecting their seventh. They also have a plot of cultivated land with all kinds of vegetable. It's a well-run operation. They are also very involved in their local Orthodox Church (if you call a 55-minute drive "local") and a home-school group.</p>
