Exciting News!

I have been chosen for a feature article in the Upcoming August/September issue of

I am over the moon!

It is my first time to be in a national magazine.

Dear Deb over at
approached me a few weeks ago about it.

We've been busy doing photo shoots for them....
we aren't professional photographers....
so that all can kind of get interesting.

But last week, finally the pics we sent were a go.

Mary Jane's Farm Magazine is one I was buying when it first came out years ago.
I can remember taking the first issue over to my girlfriend Nancy's house and showing it to her.
We both lived on 2 1/2 acres each just outside of Las Vegas on our own hobby farms.

We both milked our goats,
made cheese,
slaved over our organic gardens,
fed our chicks
gathered their eggs. 
and even had Quilt Night once a week!

Wow!
Where did the good 'ole days go?

Ken and I are hoping to get back to a hobby farm
within the next 5 years.
We just haven't figured out how to make it happen
with being on the road and all.

Oh how I miss,
sitting out on the porch as the sun rose over the mountains,
sipping on a steaming cup of mocha,
the Guitar Man would bring me,
quiet time with the Lord.

And then on out to the garden ...
weeding,
gathering,
milking,
feeding....
all before a day's work was to begin.

I can't thank you enough Deb for thinking of me!

Please check out her site my dear readers.
She is quite an inspiration to behold!

And thank you again my sweet friend!

Love over the wires....
