\"They<\/a><\/div>\n
Try-N-Find-Us recounts the surprises, mishaps, and hard-earned lessons of country living<\/div>\n

MARIETTA, GA – <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n

For Frederic Buse and his wife, Dot, it looked like a dream come true.<\/p>\n

What they soon discovered was that owning a country property and knowing how to live in the country were two very different things.<\/p>\n

In Try-N-Find-Us<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/em>, 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<\/a>.<\/p>\n
