MARIETTA, GA - The property seemed to have everything a young couple could want. There was a charming stone house, a trout stream, wooded acreage, and the promise of a peaceful life in the New Jersey countryside.
For Frederic Buse and his wife, Dot, it looked like a dream come true.
What they soon discovered was that owning a country property and knowing how to live in the country were two very different things.
In Try-N-Find-Us, Buse looks back on the eight years he and his wife spent on Turkey Hill after purchasing their five-acre property in 1961. What began as an exciting new chapter quickly turned into a steady education in rural living, complete with unexpected challenges, colorful neighbors, and plenty of stories they never could have predicted.
Life in the country brought far more than scenic views. There were wildlife encounters, home repairs, aging equipment, unpredictable weather, and the countless responsibilities that came with caring for a secluded property. The countryside offered lessons no instruction manual could provide. Some situations tested their patience. Others became stories worth retelling for years.
Throughout the book, Buse recounts the frustrations, surprises, and small victories of country life with a candid sense of humor, allowing readers to experience the learning curve alongside him.
The stories also capture a period of American life that has largely disappeared, when rural communities moved at a slower pace and neighbors often learned from one another through experience rather than convenience.
The result is a collection of memories that captures a time, a place, and a way of life that feels both nostalgic and remarkably familiar. Anyone who has ever moved somewhere new, taken on a challenge bigger than expected, or learned a lesson the hard way will likely recognize something of themselves in these pages.
More than sixty years later, the memories remain as vivid as the countryside that inspired them. Those experiences live on in Try-N-Find-Us, a reminder that some of life's best stories begin when people venture far beyond what they think they know. The book is available on Amazon.
