Father's Day, a time to celebrate dads of all kinds. The dads of the present who are still here with us, the ones we can still call up and say, "I love you, dad, thank you for being you." The dads of the past who have already gone to glory to celebrate a much grander Father's Day in heaven. The...
Hello, it's Lisa, Rural America Girl, and I would like to share a story called Wind Roll.
I was raised on a dirt road and grew up on a farm in rural America. I spent the majority of my summer days in the hay field watching my dad and grandpa rack and bale up hay.
I loved to ride on the...
Mother's Day 2017 was a success.
Mom and Dad joined us for a special Mother's Day Sunday lunch. All three of my children were there and I was one happy Momma. Having all my family together makes me happy. My brother and mother-in-law dined with us as well.
I have a confession to...
A few days ago, my son Wade took his big sister Sarah duck hunting for the first time.
They both got up at 5 a.m. put on their camo and long johns and made their way to the pond before sunrise.
They took their shutguns, duck calls, duck decoys, and lawn chairs and camped out in the tall grass,...
Who said showing livestock would be easy? Sure, let's grab a heifer out of the pasture, hook-up the crusty rusty trailer to the old Chevy, and let's roll!
Please keep in mind, this is only make-believe. There is nothing about showing that is easy especially when it comes to loading...
I believe it is important to help nurture your child's gifts and talents. This is my son Wade.
He loves everything hunting, fishing, and camo. He is very creative in fact, all three of my children are very talented. Here they are together...
One day, I found Wade in his room creating this...
Good men are hard to find. I'm proud to have a good one.
He is dedicated and faithful to his family. He is hard-working and not afraid to get his hands dirty. He has the kind of hands that are rough and callused, scared and weathered. They are gentle when a soft touch is needed or stern and...
It wouldn't be home without the sound of banging tin on an old barn when the west wind blows.
It wouldn't be home without the rooster crowing each morning, his way of reminding me of a new day to celebrate. "For this is the day the Lord has made."
It wouldn't be home without the cows bawling...

My son Wade, took his big sister Sarah duck hunting recently. This was her first time to duck hunt, and looking at the picture, she had a great time. She also shot her first...

What a cute couple!
I was a little anxious about this day. This was my first...
I'll never forget the early years, all the pageantry experiences and opportunities. It was during those years, I learned many life lessons.
The bible teaches us to never despise small beginnings, and the Lord rejoices to see the work begin. I had no idea of the work he was doing and...
Some of my fondest childhood memories were made watching the tractors spit out the big round bales of hay and sometimes square ones. I loved the smell of freshly mowed hay... until the hay fever kicked in but it didn't stop me from watching. My family has always baled...
