Life in the Boonies

Well, so much for the previous post about my lifestyle change with healthy eating. Give me some gluten, Baby!!! Call me a rebel (some people do) but I'd rather do my own thing rather than have someone tell me what I CAN'T have or do! Besides, healthy eating made me FAT!

Mom is cancer free!!!!!!!! Thank God for that!

Let me just add a few recent photos I took to this little "update".

It's so wonderful to have some wheat for our cattle to graze this year! There really isn't much of it to go around here. It's been a dry season! Sometimes living in God's Country, Texas, you get blessings you probably really don't deserve!








I would like to thank my wonderful ex-husband (weird kind of oxy-moronish, yeah I know....very long story) and his smashingly, beautiful wife for allowing me to take their family pictures!

I think this looks very album-coverish.

Seeing as I can't add another picture to this post (???) I am going to end it. See next post for the sequel.

We bought a farm this year. 340 acres of cropland. It's what prevented me from putting in a pool in the backyard. This farm has been handed down through my husbands family for several generations. However, in order to keep it in the family, when my father-in-law offered it to us and after considerable discussion we bought it. We now own a piece of America. We are landowners. I swore I'd never be married to a farmer. Well...






Here we are making our very first wheat crop for the first-time-farmers we are. This is the first dump into the truck.




Oh yeah...good old America, amber waves of grain, our little piece of the pie.





This is the Commander in Chief....he's hoping this wheat crop will help pay for this heritage we "inherited". Ahhhh.....farming.
