We Helped Make History
There are many things I love about this rural area I have come to call my home. One of our greatest treasures is our library.

Zeb's Last Year as a Teen

Rings and Things
About 16 years ago, my husband got a tattoo. It was a wedding ring, and I love it. He often works with heavy equipment and didn’t want his ring to catch in a machine, causing him to lose a finger. Good idea. While I love my own wedding and engagement rings, I don’t totally love…
