One more thanks.......

I also wanted to give a shout out of thanks to Jen......for introducing me to Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. You'll notice that it is now in the list of my favorite blogs. What a great web site -- cooking, photography, and overall great writing. But I have to say, more importantly, a woman after my own heart. Life on a cattle ranch, raising a family, and doing all the things you love to do. Don't get me wrong, I like my job, my coworkers, and living in the Champaign area. But I LOVE farming and of course, cattle. If ever given the opportunity, Ron often can not wait to tell people that I used to be a beef queen. That in itself is not what drives my love of the country life (that's another post). My days of showing cattle are some of my fondest memories. I can not wait to have my children experience farm life, maybe raise some animals, and learn the value of hard work. Someday...........
