On Misty Morning Ranch – The Ostrich Experience

On Rogue’s Legacy
Boys, I’ve written about Rogue before, but this past Friday, we sent you two over to Nash’s house and we had someone come over and put Rogue down. It was one of the hardest things we’ve ever had to do and a decision that was nearly impossible to make. But his hips didn’t allow him…

On Two Stories
Koen, Lately, we’ve been foregoing songs at night in exchange for a story. When I was little, I remember my dad could just tell me stories and he had a way of coming up with really creative stories. I hadn’t thought about that in a long time, but I noticed that it’s something I can…

On January 14, 2024 – Best Day Ever!
Boys, Lot to get into with this one so buckle up, buttercup. Today, we went to the train show at the Columbus Fairgrounds. This is the second straight year we’ve done this, and we’ve even recruited some friends to come with us this time. You, Miles, and Nash all got these paper train conductor hats…
