“ I
WAS SITTING in
the car on the way
home going over it
in my mind,” Mary
says. “I knew what
the price was. How
were we going to work this? That very
night, the developer who bought the first
farm called from Disney World and said,
‘I hear there are subdivisions coming
around your farm.’ He said, ‘I need your
farm. Name your price.’ I swear as I’m
standing here my arms went ice cold, my
heart stopped beating. I was like, ‘Oh,
this is how I’m going to do it.’ He said,
‘I will have you a check in the morning.
Let me know what price you need.’”
Selling the land was just the first step.
“We had 100 head of cattle to sell, all
these tractors and horse trailers,” Mary
says. “It was like dominoes. It could not
have gone any better. It all fell into place,
and we were down here in three months.
It was a dream come true. We moved in
on my birthday. Thank you, darling.”
