Victoria headed back to “work” this week, and the girls went with her.
Growing up, Mom and Dad always made it a priority for Mom to stay at home with us, and we’re thankful that our farm today can provide Victoria with an income while also allowing her to be present with her girls. We added another shelf in the old kitchen to make room for our growing milk demand. The shelves hold the clean jars every day before being filled with milk the next morning. We’ve also turned the farm office area into a play room for the girls. This old house, where you pick up your meat, milk, and eggs was built in 1891. I often stop and think about the laughs carried, the tears shed, and the love shared here over the years. Our family has experienced all three within these walls- first as our home and now as the hub of our farm operation. One hundred and thirty years is a long time for a house to stand, but I’m thankful it’s being used to serve hundreds of families each week. No doubt, the farmer who built it would be proud to know each of you grace his front porch steps.
