Day 1

October 19, 2011
     This isn't really the 1st day of our journey into land ownership of 10+ acres somewhere in the USA.  The idea started when I was about 5 yrs old.  Then, I believed I was going to grow up, get married and have ten children and live in the valley of the mountains by my relatives.  But, life has its quirky little twists and turns and I never got my ten children and about as close as country I could come was a small city just outside of a bigger city 30 miles away. 
     Now that I'm grown up some, I realized I achieved my dream by being blessed with ten grandchildren.  Now its time to find my 10+ acres somewhere in the USA.  My husband and I are looking forward to this journey and I hope, along the way, you will enjoy it too and maybe get inspired to achieve your own dream no matter how long you've been dreaming. 
     The Leavitt Lodge is a place where you can close your eyes & dream; where you can almost see the sun setting in the early evening and watch the autumn leaves fall. It is a place where you can almost hear the grinding of my wheat, almost smell my bread baking, and almost taste the hot butter and sweet honey on a thick slice of that whole wheat bread.  My Leavitt Lodge is a place where you can reminisce about your childhood with our Homemade Ragdolls, fantasize yourself in a relaxing hot bath using our Homemade Glycerine Soaps, be inspired to simmer your own batch of homemade Apple Butter using a tried & true recipe from Rachel Richardson - a sweet, elderly farm woman we love.
     We hope you and yours will enjoy the Leavitt Lodge and please, feel free to email us at nancyleavitt.11@gmail.com or leave a friendly "hello".  We'll return the favor!
