Down Home on the Farm...Yee Haw!



Last weekend was the beginning of a new chapter of my life. I've yearned for the chance to have a job closer to home for over a year. After driving 115 miles each way from Sumas to Seattle and back again (sometimes all in one day), I am now commuting 60 miles round-trip! I am now able to spend much more quality time with my honey and my kids!

Granted, some of our kids are more than just "food for the soul." Some have acquired names like "Breakfast, Dinner, Daisy, Duke, T-bone, Spot, No-name, etc." Being a suburbanite until I was 32, switching to the farm life (simple life) has had its "up's and down's." Melz, my wife, still teases me in front of lifetime friends from Rural North Whatcom County about being from "the city." I take it all in stride because it all comes through with love.
