My oldest son is 23 today. It's hard to believe he's so grown up, but he is. He graduated college and married his high school sweetheart. He got a job and works hard. He's a funny guy and has his Dad's wicked sense of humor. He has us rolling with laughter at all family functions. … Continue reading Happy birthday, Teddy!

Happy birthday, Ted!
My sweetie turned 46 today. He already got the headgate system and the impact wrench he wanted for himself this past weekend, so I had to really shop to find things he didn't have but would use. He is not an easy man to shop for! He did like the screwdriver sets from Janeesa and … Continue reading Happy birthday, Ted!

Happy birthday, Dad!
This is my favorite picture of Dad. He was sharing a pretzel with Beef during one of Beef's many escapes. Dad has always had a soft spot for animals. I get it from him. 🙂

Happy birthday, Janeesa (in Chicago!)
Janeesa's 26th birthday was this past weekend, so we packed up the car and headed to Chicago on Friday to see her. I was really glad Ted was driving once we got to the city! It was crazy there! I thought driving in Columbus was bad, but this was nuts! We rented an apartment in … Continue reading Happy birthday, Janeesa (in Chicago!)

It got me to thinking: we're all so quick to post the negative, but I'm betting far more positives happen to all of us. Let's … Continue reading A little act of kindness goes a long way

He's obsessed with space and could probably teach a high school class on anything and everything space related. He loves iPad apps and computer coding and his Enderman … Continue reading Happy birthday, Jake!

Happy early birthday to Ted!
Ted decided a couple of weekends ago to rent a wood chipper to try to clean up a bunch of small downed trees and branches on the three acre pasture, but it was already rented and had a waiting list. He called around to price them, and nobody had one in stock, so suddenly he … Continue reading Happy early birthday to Ted!

My country girl list
This started as a comment on a Facebook post (one of those "What I want from my husband" posts that I responded to). First, let me say to the men, " Do NOT pay attention to those stupid commercials where the jewelry makes the female human/penguin/whatever soooo happy!" We're not all like that. If you … Continue reading My country girl list
