I’m sharing some more of our family journal as written by OFWC Caldwell in May of 1888. I think you can click on the journal page and it will enlarge to read clearly. I thought this appropriate on this Memorial Day weekend. Hope you enjoy as much as I have reading it.
I'm a country girl from the western part of Virginia in a small community of New Castle/Craig County. I've lived in Craig all my life-eighteen years with my parents and siblings and forty + years with my wonderful husband.
We have two children, a boy and a girl, and two grandchildren, all of which we love very much. We live on a 500 acre+ farm that has been in my husbands family for over 200 years. We are raising beef cattle, chickens, rabbits and a couple dogs.. We grow pretty much all we eat or harvest from the farm and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
I love to create, craft, quilt, read, write, decorate, crochet, candlewick, bake, bow hunt, cook, garden, farm animals and walking/hunting in the woods. I love sharing our home with family and friends.
I hope you enjoy the posts that I enter on my blog and hopefully will be helpful and/or fun to all that read it.

Hi, I'm Lacie! I'm a real mom with a crazy busy life. I'm always seeking new ways to make things easier. I hope my ideas can help make your life a little easier too! Thanks for stopping by!
A little mix of DIY, fashion, & motherhood.
This site is about my life as a farmgirl, wife, mother and grandmother and the things I love to do. I've been married to the same man that I love for 40+ years. We have two beautiful adult children and one granddaughter. We pretty much live off of our farm by raising our food or hunting for it. My blog is a day to day walk-through of our life.
