I 1 not everyone who loves the country would be happy living the way we do. It takes a couple of special qualities. One is a tolerance for 2 . Because we are so busy and on such a tight 3 , we don’t entertain much. During the growing season there is no time for 4 anyway. Jim and Emily are involved in school activities, but they too spend most of their time at home.

The only machinery we own (not counting the lawn mower) is a little three-horsepower 8 cultivator and a 16-inch chain saw. How much longer we’ll have enough energy to stay on here is anyone’s guess —— perhaps for quite a while, perhaps not. When the time comes, we’ll leave with a feeling of sorrow but also with a sense of pride at what we’ve been able to 9 . We should make a fair profit on the sale of the place, too. We’ve 10 about $35,000 of our own money in it, and we could just about double that if we sold today. But this is not a good time to sell. Once 11 conditions improve, however, 12 for farms like ours should be strong again. We didn’t move here 13 to earn money though. We came because we wanted to improve the quality of our lives. When I watch Emily 14 eggs in the evening, fishing with Jim on the river or enjoying an old-fashioned picnic in the orchard with the 15 family, I know we’ve found just what we were looking for.
1. suspect 2. solitude 3. budget 4. socializing 5. self-sufficiency 6. temptation 7. laborsaving 8. rotary 9. accomplish 10. invested 11. economic 12. demand 13. primarily 14. collecting 15. entire
