When I was a little girl, my daddy told me, “Marry a man with his feet in the dirt and….”
To be honest, I’m not sure what came next, exactly. “…and you’ll always be happy?” “…all your dreams will come true?” “…you will wash a lot of socks?”
All I heard was the first part and I took it to heart. I married a farm boy and have been living the life of my dreams for almost 30 years. We have raised two children surrounded by a large extended family, and we are currently enjoying our first two grandchildren! Twin boys! And, it’s about to get better!
I am approaching the finish line of my “off the farm” career as a school counselor and eagerly looking forward to being a Stay At Home Grandma! Don’t get me wrong! I love my job and will miss being a “middle school grown-up” for sure! But, my heart has always been on the farm. With my amazing husband (I love you Sugar Lips), taking care of the people I love.
So, I invite you to follow me on my journey into the rest of my life, as I wrap up one chapter and embark on another. I promise I will share smiles and joy, lots of good cooking and the peace of the farm.
