A couple of times a year we get the family together and make pizza. Everyone has a job. I prepare the dough, Vicky and Kurt prebake the individual size crust, I make the sauce and sausage, someone else cuts up mushrooms, green pepper, onion, fresh cheeses, basil and garlic. Everyone gets to put there own pizza together and put it in the oven. Its a fun night. My sons friends appear out of the wood work on family pizza night. We usually end up playing board games or telling stories.
Its always a great night, its fun to see who shows up and what they bring to the evening!

Stepping closer to the farm life
We are preparing to put our home on the market. We have lived here for 10 years. Our son was 9 when we moved here, the mark on the closet doorway says he was just under 4 feet tall. Now at 19, he is 6'2". Tears of joy, but time passed to quickly. Yes, it has been a home not just a house. We have shared joys and sorrows, we have had celebrations and much laughter in this home. We have watched our family grow in many ways. It has served its purpose and it is time for everyone to move on.
Its time for us to venture out and claim our dreams of farm life. We plan to rent until we build a suitable home on our five acres located 2 hours south of our current home. The first step is selling this house. We have a great yard. Since we are both gardeners, we over planted. We have a very private and peaceful yard in the summer. We put in a pond and two years later, we enlarged it. It is a very enchanting setting. I know I'll miss it but I am looking for to over planting another pit of earth.
