From the Ranch: I Was So Busy Raising Small Children, This Bit of History Had Escaped Me

The words here are about my life as the wife of a now retired Soldier. I live on a small ranch in Texas, and my experiences here craft the words I use to express my life. The sacrifices, challenges, and the deeply satisfying rewards of being the wife of such a man influence them as well. I live in a beautiful and peaceful place, and it is great solace and comfort when I face life and the challenges of a complicated and stressed world. So I have titled my writings "From the Ranch."

Both a Marine and the widow of one of the fallen Marines drove this message home for me.
