Gaëtane to Gran 3 Item Info
Dear Grandmother,
We have found our land after some search. 136 acres fo 14,500$. It has 1 cabin and a barn on it, and the land next door can be rented for 160$/year – it has quite a lot of buildings.
There is about 6 ft of snow in the winter but the plough goes right up to our property.
What I think we should do to earn the money is arts and crafts. Rosa is painting fantastic pictures. Gary (?) (Mary’s boyfriend) does carpentry, and I can do just about anything. I was thinking that especially Christmas we would have a pretty good market.
Everybody else is really pessimistic and saying things like we can’t live in it for 2 years. What do you think of my idea?
We are still at the Hunt’s. Give my love to Nell and Dora.
Love,
Gaëtane
