My life is full of   WOW’s.

Three beautiful grown children that still today sometimes I stop, scratch my head and look towards the heavens and ask :  Lord, how could these great people have come thru me.”  They are truly good people. The kind of folks I would want to know more if they weren’t our children.  They love one another and treat each other with care and respect and love and that is a precious gift in itself.  WOW!

Thom, Catherine, Tonya

Ten, beautiful Grandbabies. There isn’t an ugly one in the bunch.  Haha  ( I may be a tiny bit prejudice). Each and every one is so incredibly precious, young beautiful skin, new hair, and teeth, chubby arms and thighs, twenty feet and twenty hands all moving at once when they are all here together. Beautiful laughing eyes and pools of giggling all about me.  WOW!

A beautiful farmstead that is always in need of my attention.  Repairing, replacing, or renovating. The barns need painting, the grass needs mowing, the fields need tilling, and the vintage equipment needs greasing and updating.  This farm steals my time and some that I don’t even have. It leaves me dog-tired at the end of my day, worn out, yet happy, and my heart so full it feels like it could burst. I am grateful to be the steward of this farm and land, and I pray that i am bringing honor to the previous caretakers.  

UPDATE AS OF 2025.

We have 12 beautiful grandchildren, our oldest grandchild has added a wife to our brood, and this home is filled to the brim every Sunday with laughter and happiness and lots and lots of love. Some people live in houses fit for queens; some people walk around with bulging pockets of cash……..I live comfortable, clean and extremely blessed with all that MONEY cannot buy.
