Month: June 2022

While there are a lot of life skills that I love teaching our kids, there are some areas I have to recognize that I am not a master of and defer to others for help. Learning to swim is a life skill that is not used a lot on the ranch, but I feel very passionately as a parent that my kids are equipped to handle themselves in the water.

I feel like it is time to revisit a subject I talked about in the fall, and that subject is, navigating these rural roads and highways safely! If you are tuning in today, I would venture to say, you are a commuter on rural roads and highways at some point during your day or week.

We were able to enjoy a few hours in our local small town enjoying the hard work of a committee who has been dedicated to providing a couple days of small-town fun for our area.

I could not let June pass by without celebrating National Dairy Month! National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 as a way to promote drinking milk. From calcium to potassium, dairy products like milk contain nine essential nutrients which may help to better manage your weight, reduce your risk for high blood pressure, osteoporosis and certain cancers.

In communities across the land, it is summer celebration season! Listening to the radio as you are driving along checking cows or knocking down hay, it is right in front of you, we are in the middle of what makes rural America great, celebrating community!
