One of the things I really enjoy doing is quilting. I also cross-stitch and drawing.

Gary and I in our handmade buckskins. Gary is actively involved not only in a boy's scouting group called Royal Rangers, but he is now an active 4H leader and advisor.

Gary retired after 23 years in the Air Force but I am still a Weather Forecaster in the Washington Air National Guard.

This lovely picture of our youngest child, Joanne, was taken by her big brother Jason, who is a graphic artist. Her other big brother, Kris, is in the Air Force, and is stationed at RAF Lakenheath, England.

Joanne loves animals of all sorts, especially the cats and the horses. I remember her dashing out of the house when she was only two, yelling *Mommy ride! Mommy ride!" whenever I was with the horses.

 This picture of Joanne was taken by the Naches River, up in the Nile Valley on the way to Mt Rainer. The Cascade Mountains are located just a short drive away from our farm.

Our farm is located in the scenic Yakima Valley, nestled amongst various fruit orchards. This picture is of Joanne and Aida

Holly has graduated from high school and is now on her own and wishing she could afford to have horses!
