The Picture of the tornado is a picture that I took in 1989 and entered into a Kodak contest. I won second place in the National contest. It has taken its own amazing ride around the world. My youngest daughter, Audra, is in the photo. She is always being called "the tornado girl". If you were to know anything about me at all... you would realize that this personal information could produce a book! I love to write and that is why I am probably on Facebook way to much. It makes my creative side come to life. I would more than likely write an autobiography if I got started. Those who receive my Christmas letters already know. I shall try to be brief?! As a child I grew up with God, Faith, Church and Family being the most important things in life. They still are. I am a wife to Sam..Together we farm in Nebraska and also Kansas We live just a few miles from the state line. I am also mother to CheriLea, Micki, Macy and Audra. I am a grandmother to Lacey, Jordan, Heather, Issac, Samantha, Trevor, Hillary, Padyn, Austin, Mercedes, Cyrus, Caleb, Sierra, Rachel and Nathan...and Great grandmother to Aza, Jaslyn, Ace, Aiden, Autumn and Emmett. They are the most important people in my life. My focus is always on God and Heaven and Eternity. So when I ever do write books these will be the topics. I want to write a series of books on our family farm life. "Life on the Sappy Creek". I also want to write about " Dancing into Heaven" . and about the truth ...Simple Truth. so that is a start...more to follow.
