It’s Officially Released!

It’s been a long haul; spending every free moment when I wasn’t writing, chasing, feeding, or checking cows, to work on this book. It’s been the cause of numerous sleepless nights and mornings up at three or four a.m. to squeeze in extra time, pressure to put forth my absolute best, and the occasional family, hygiene, and suppertime preparation neglect.

This 185 page book has been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed choosing the photos to include with certain essays, and most especially picking out the quotes from my collection of our kids’ quotes over the years. It took a lot of time but I think you’ll enjoy the bonus material in the book.
