Memorial Day Weekend Camping Trip
Every Memorial Day weekend, my family goes camping at a nice campground at Wikiup Resevoir, southwest of Bend, Oregon. I am really not that much of a camping gal, but I do it for my kids.

There is beauty all around
I am so very happy to live out in the country. My four children live in complete bliss just going outside and partaking of the wonderous bliss. I went outside by myself a cuple of hours ago surrounded by my three goats and a few chickens, and whilst petting my favorite goat, Petey, I just felt so at home. The beauty that surrounds me is breathtaking. Lush green trees surround me. Everything ... Read the Post
