The Little Things in Life

When I think of a millionaire I think of someone like Bill Gates or Donald Trump. Someone who is very intelligent, went through much schooling, and became very successful. Today was a gorgeous day in Newington, Connecticut, my home town. My dad took my two best friends and me apple picking. It was so much fun climbing the trees, seeing all the little kids around. I honestly felt like I was a kid again. My dad then told my friends and I that the family who owned the apple farm also owns the majority of the land in the town. This includes the apple farm, pumpkin patch, two golf courses, and a corn maze. He went on to tell us that he knows someone who works for Lyman's Orchard and they informed him that this business is a twenty million dollar business! I was shocked. When you think of wealth the owner's of a tree farm don't usually come to mind. The family has been in the business for over three hundred years, however, which explains the wealth and prestige. They provide families with such joy by simply taking advantage of nature. I was surrounded by delicious apples, beautiful leaves, and amazing people. It was one of the best days I've had in a while. It once again taught me to take advantage of the little things in life.
