Several months ago I let you folks know about a lawsuit some neighbors had 
filed against our farm. I wanted to let everyone know that the day before 
the final court date ( after several delays and other motions), they did 
drop the lawsuit. It was full of drama.

I'll spare you the details, but the short story is their lawyer actually 
quit on them in court, on the first day.  The judge was not amused and gave 
them 2 days to find new counsel.  They found another lawyer who apparently 
talked some sense into them and convinced them to drop the case. 
Unfortunately this left us with the decision to pursue the motion to 
sanction or drop it and allow them to drop the case.  If they lost that they 
would have had to pay my lawyers fees.  But my lawyer counseled me to drop 
the sanction and allow them to drop their suit. He said there's just no way 
to know what the judge  might be thinking. He did force them to sign a 
Consent Decree. This gives us a fast track towards a frivolous  lawsuit if 
they try anything again.

I appreciate all the support and words of encouragement!
