Iowa

I was catching up on blogs that I read and I read the following: Flotsam
I just had to respond to maybe dispel some of the myths but found that thru the comments there was a lot of good to say about good ol' Iowa. This was my response:
I'm from Iowa. Sitting in my old, restored, farm house while my kids are out playing with baby kittens and my husband is talking to the farm machinery guy:) our house sits along the beautiful Loess Hills that line the river. We have a creek that runs thru our land and on real quite days I can hear it. Altho with the wind that seems to be constant, it's not a sound i hear to often.I live in n'west Iowa a part of the state that is always overlooked with central (Des Moines) and Eastern Iowa getting all the 'Iowa' news.Farming is our way of life and difficult as it is, it's pretty good right now.I'm glad you got to enjoy a weekend in Iowa where yes we have vehicles, we don't drive tractors everywhere AND news flash we don't grow potato's. That's Idaho:)If anyone wants to experience farm life at it's best (well depending on the latest drama here b/w chickens, mamma drama with the kittens, kids, etc) look me up and come visit. We'd love to have ya:)

That last part about visiting.... I extend that to all you blog readers:) Seriously. I've had people come stay, I've gone and stayed with people I met thru my work, etc. We're a nice family, abet the drama that follows us, but seriously if you're looking for a not frills weekend/week away, come hang here. There really is plenty to do!!
