I am a farm girl, married to my high school sweetheart. We grew up on farms 9 miles apart and went through 12 years of school together. I liked him in grade school, but it took until we were Juniors in high school to get him interested in me as more than a friend. I have never lived more than 10 miles from home, except in college, but have travelled as far as France, Germany and Switzerland. We live on our own farm and have raised three of our six kids. The last three are growing up fast.
Tonight Emma watched a program of "Illusionists" on t.v. I gazed at her in amazement as she loudly gasped and giggled at every "trick"...a white dove appearing or disappearing, a red scarf turning green...I thought how great it is to be a child with a childlike appreciation of simple things. As we age we lose a lot of that joy. How fun it would be to be thrilled by a dance in the rain or cursive in a white tree.
