As my second wedding anniversary approached my head was flooded with thoughts. I knew I wanted to write something, but wasn’t set on a direction. I could easily write something incredibly mushy or a monologue of sarcasm, woven with humor. However, going solely in either direction didn’t settle right for me. Then, I thought about … Continue reading What Marriage Is

The Days I have to be Quiet
I'm terrible at being quiet. Actually, I'm incredible at being quiet. I can go hours without feeling the need to mutter a word, I can stealthily slink around our home and farm so silently My Someone is constantly hollaring out to find me when I'm in the next room.

He raises livestock, not crops, so in my mind and probably most everyone's west of the Mississippi he qualifies as a rancher. On the other hand, my husband finds it incredibly awkward when I refer to him and his parents as ranchers … Continue reading Till the Cows Come Home to Double Dan Ranch
