We were born and raised here. I consider this a blessing...to live in this country is such a privledge. My husband "J" and I have two daughters. They are the most precious little beings I have ever known. I thank the Lord for entrusting us with such darling souls. I love being a wife and mother. We don't have much of a farm here, more like a hobbie farm I suppose. Although, if it were up to me, I'd have a few more animals. Chickens! Goats! Sheep! Cats! But, Alas, (long sad sigh) I shall be content with the cows and dog...and the neighbors dogs.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#330000;"></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8958649994682299360-2021049418509221963?l=handiemissmandie.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MANDIEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02993726982933271636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8958649994682299360.post-5798516984039215322009-08-16T22:13:00.000-05:002009-08-16T22:15:46.358-05:00This blog is UNDER CONSTRUCTION...And since I'm new at this it may be "Under Construction" for a bit.
