The other night, I was looking through some of my mail order catalogs. I like to order clothing from a certain company. Therefore, I am flooded with catalogs from everywhere!

I always like looking through them, prior to their obliteration. However, while looking through a very fluffy, puffy, decorating catalog, I became hysterical with laughter.

My funny bone was on overload! Here I was, sitting in my 1890’s remodeled farmhouse. Which by the way took us 40 years to complete. It is a beautiful home now. However, as every farmer knows, your money is in your land and machinery. It’s just our way of life.

My farmer hubby of 45 years had just gotten in from baling hay. Picture this: he in his grimy attire, me in my gardening paraphernalia, 3 Chocolate Labs at our feet…….LOL!!! OH WELL! I guess you had to be there, but I’m sure that you can see the humor in it.

I suppose if I married someone with a $500,000 home, I could buy a $200 stand to hold onions and potatoes. Sorry if I offend anyone. Our fortune is invested in the lives of our 3 sons, and the farm. We just don’t live that way, nor do we choose to do so.

I have very close girlfriends, and none of them live my lifestyle….but they get me and my weird sense of humor.

I guess it just depends on your value system.

I’d rather be married to Mr. Moo Cow who adores his family, is extremely comical, and is somewhat of a workaholic. For sure….that is the reason all 3 sons turned out to become football coaches and teachers. They farmed all of their lives, took the work ethic, and ran with it!

His favorite place to travel is once a summer to our son’s Lake House at Dale Hollow Lake with the grandkids! Any other travels, I do with friends, and don’t mind a bit.

Besides, someone needs to keep the home fires burning. We have the 3 dogs, and a large herd of beef cattle, that needs daily tending. That’s his happiness.. When Daddy’s happy….all are happy!

So… just bear with me, as this MOO COW WIFE gets nutty on occasion.

Trust me…..ALL OF OUR FRIENDS LOVE THE HOMEGROWN SWEET CORN AND TOMATOES! JUST SAYIN!
