This time up, occured along time ago when I was still married to my 2nd wife. I was in my mid 20's.

One of my 2nd cousins had invited my wife and me over to her place one weekend when I worked weekdays as a union construction worker. Since my job wasnt having mandatory overtime, meaning. I had the weekend off.

My cousin and I dont have any childhood memories created from knowing each other as kids because of the big age difference. She was around twenty back then, was rather a good looking short blonde and has blue eyes, but still had no children at that time. I didn't know her all that well, but my wife did because they lived in the same trailer that sat way in the back of my gramma's 40 acres that had already been divided up between my gramma's children before she died from natural causes in her early 70's. My mom had to decline receiving her 3 acres because of being a single mother with 3 boys. I am the youngest.

The reason why my mom didn't take the land offered was that the land's property tax had been accumulating for years without being paid. I believe that was why my gramma's kids got their inheritance early, and not because she was selfless and/or wanted the kids to enjoy their inheritance before becoming old. Basically, enjoy it while still young enough to have more time and use with it.

My mom would have had to come up with $2000, but that was completely absurd with what she earned at her job. So that really sucked big time for the three of us kids. My mom said that she was going to give it to us if she had the money to clear the tax debt, so ended up giving it to anyone of her siblings that could or even wanted the acres. One of her sisters, who had gotten the old family house, the big garage, barn, and the shed that was almost as big as the garage and also was also filled up to the top of it with years of gallon sized rusted tin cans, yet never crushed or recycled, I'm guessing. Maybe the tin wasn't recycled for money back when i was a kid. I can't remember. At the end, there were three of my moms siblings who received their inheritance.
