To Farmers and Ranchers Everywhere: THANK YOU

I have a confession...

I didn't tune into the super bowl. Now, had Denver actually gotten their &*^$ together and made it...I may be sitting in my living room right now in a navy sweatshirt with orange paint on my face. I'd probably still be by myself, but I'd have more of an interest in the game. I happened to be on the phone with mom when the Budweiser commercial came on and switched the channel in time. I took a break from lesson planning/developing to check Facebook and it was blowing up. My newsfeed was overflowing with posts about the Dodge commercial. I checked it out...

I got the chills. I cried. I called home to thank my Dad. I said a prayer and thanked my Granddad's and the generations who have gone before. Those men and women who worked tirelessly to feed their families and their country and leave a legacy. So thankful to be part of something bigger than myself...AGRICULTURE.

Thank A Farmer

How has it really been THAT long...

I had no idea that it has been MONTHS since I posted last. There are so many days when a blog idea strikes and the business of life takes over, thus the blog never happens. Maybe I'll add that to my 2016 plan. Whatever 2015 was--I am determined to make 2016 a bit brighter, a bit lighter and a bit more mine. I'm a living attempt to rework a lifestyle--to eat better, to plan healthier and to insert some exercise. I hope to make more time for myself to spend a bit more time doing what I enjoy whether it be taking pictures or cooking or writing. I continue to dream of a horizon where I can watch a sunset, but until then, I'll keep on keeping on in the Midwest with an excess of trees, a lack of fine Mexican food and a shortage of good music and drink.

Just a Sample of What is Rolling Around in Fern's Head

I really should've been a trophy wife I was serape before serape was cool (circa 2007...BAM!) What is a "typical girl", and how is she different from a "typical Southern girl"? Do tell. I am a drenching diva--- Stay Tuned...I promise to elaborate

'80s Ladies

I apologize for my absence, but we'll cover that later. On a recent road trip (day trip), for work, I made a little list in my head, let's see if I can recall the jist of it all. I worked up a list of things that we should all have in our memory books, and on my list, thanks to my iPod, I have the '80s ladies. No, not the great friends from the dorm and I that re-worked the K.T. Oslin's hit from the '80s. That is definitely another story for another time. As I was cruising across the Lone Star State in my Gold Lincoln Town Car on Friday of last week, I spent a lot of time being thankful that it was a solo mission---I did a lot of singing and dancing in that car that day. Some of the favorite stops made by my iPod were on the Ladies of the 80s. Let me just share with you right now that my musical stylings were utterly amazing and a force to be reckoned with, not to mention the moves that accompanied them. Tell me, who doesn't know their way through &
