Youth, Teeth and the Truth
I love the blatant honesty that is rarely held back by our young people. I’ve learned this well in my days of working at a daycare, being a nanny on the East Coast, teaching Sunday school, mentoring youth, and volunteering in classrooms. There is an innocence and...
A Pilot and a Patriot
This is my dad who sparked my passion for flying and encouraged me to pursue it. He is a World War II veteran and bought his first plane when he returned from the war. His love of flying was always a big part of his life, enjoyment and freedom. When he could no...
A Buck in the Back

My Family, the Farmyard, and Fond Memories
This is my family. They were not very happy with me when I insisted on taking the family pictures I had scheduled on a brisk March morning. But they went along with it because they love and support me. This is my grandpa’s barn. I have so many fond memories with my...
Prayer, Pearls and People
