To introduce myself, I am a business owner (motorcycle/ATV/UTV/scooter dealer), homeschool mom of 2 (one gifted and one special needs). I garden and raise rabbits. I had raised chickens but developed a lung allergy and had to chose between eggs and breathing, so I had to chose breathing.

In my free time I enjoy reading science, history, medical, and Christian content. I pretty much only read fiction on vacation. I am working on a book/booklet called "Why I need God". My husband is an elder at our church and I am involved in the children's ministries. I have 2 teenage kids. One is leaving to go to college in August. The other has Down Syndrome and will probably never leave home. I also have a giant breed dog, a Leonberger who goes to work with me and anywhere else I can take him.

In 2015 my house burnt to the ground, vaporized by a grass fire fueled by 60+ mph winds. I've been rebuilding the homestead ever since. Covid lockdowns allowed my life to slow down enough I finally got to digging out my flower beds around my house that were destroyed by the fire, building numerous raised beds, and planting some trees. Things are coming along nicely. I'm trying to talk my husband into allowing me to get goats or hair sheep, but he isn't convinced yet.
