OUR BELOVED PETS
We had 3 dogs but then Daisy, the sweetest mix breed but a good ole guard dog,
Passed away in August 2021. We now have 2 dogs.
Darby, a brown mini weener dog (Daschund) with a black heart on her tail, and
DashaLyn, a Brown & Tan face and feet with Blue Marble Dapple Mini Weener.
We got "Dash" a week before Daisy passed.
Our grand dogs are Marc's Dogs DJ and Lady.
We have since lost Duke, Marc's Dog, a deep red Golden Retriever, DJ and Lady's Daddy, to Cancer.
Jess and Eddie has Sadie, A cute beagle that's full of energy and Remmy, a cow hearding dog. Also full of energy.
Jessica has also lost their elder dog Duece late 2020 just after Christmas.
RIP Duece, Duke, and Daisy. 3 dogs in less than a year, 4 in two years.
We had also lost Rocket (full size weener) to old age in November 2019. 4 dogs in less than 2 years.
We have a Graveyard on our Farm full of our passed pets.
All of our pets start out as a pup, and grow their full life with us.

THINGS WE LIKE TO DO
Rj and Marcus like to fish and hunt.
No, Wait.. Rj LIKES to fish, Marcus LOVES to Fish. Every day is ok with him.
Rj watches LOTS of various sports on TV, mostly Football (pro and college)
and the whole family is into NASCAR.
We are AVID Arkansas Razorback Fans, all sports.
Rj also Loves to Smoke Meat and Grill.

Rj is a big Weather Buff. He missed his calling. He is a Computer Programmer,
but feels like he should have been in the computer area of the National Weather Service.
The link of his weather page is above.

Lila likes garage and yard sale shopping for antiques,
Auctions (her Dad was an Auctioneer in Texas), Genealogy, and Reading.

We also love the outdoors and try to camp as often as possible in our camper.
Buffalo Point on the Buffalo National River in North Central Arkansas is one of our Favorites.
Lake Catherine in Hot Springs, Arkansas, and Degray Lake in Hot Spring/Clark County, Arkansas.
We also take the campter to Galveston hopefully every year.

Our Garden is no longer as big as my background on the page, but we have a small one every year.
We LOVE the fresh vegetables, We do a lot of preserving (Can and Freeze).

That's All Folks!! Thanks for the Visit.
We hope you have the best day of your Life!!
