Family Portrait: The Athearns

"Today, as Jim and Debbie Athearn celebrate the success of the farm they started in 1975, the couple no longer notes the end of the season at Labor Day. Now, the season comes closer to slowing down at Thanksgiving, when they sit down with their sons and daughter, their wives and husband, and seven grandchildren in a celebratory Thanksgiving meal that reminds them that, like the song says, everything takes its own sweet time."
