Welcome!

     Today is the day you find an escape from your regular life. This is your opportunity to grasp a moment; a peaceful, quiet, hilarious and thoughtful moment.

     At least that is what I hope to offer you through the posts on this blog.  Let's get started.  Today I want to introduce you to my dirt road; this is just the beginning of it.




     This is the type of road you pass by every day but it only steals a fleeting glance from you. Over that hill, out of your vision are lives. Generations of the same families have owned either side of this bare dirt path, families that have grown, loved and lost.  In the warmer seasons horses trod up and down this road and neighbors I've known my whole life walk their dogs.  Winter brings the rev of 4-wheel drive trucks as farmers head off for morning chores.

     I grew up on this road, riding my bike, cutting the grass lining the gravel, repairing fences, standing just there at the corner waiting for the school bus. When I was younger I cursed living here, but now I cherish it.

     Consider this your "in" to the country way of life; a small glance at what growing up in the country is like.  This is where you can find a window to a different way of life.  Maybe you're looking for an escape, a hilarious escapade, a lesson learned, or just a quiet thoughtful moment. 

I hope to be able to provide all of that and more while sharing my life story.

Please enjoy.
