Growing up, I was a Daddy’s Girl. I followed him around like a puppy, and he taught me to shoot and fish and build and shovel and repair. Unknowingly, he prepared me for this ranchlife, having the skills to learn and to try and to be confident. When I was a senior in high school,…

We take this break from our regular programming to share birthday photos, a month and a half late. Yes, we kept thinking there would be nice weather, etc., etc. But, no.

Please note: Victoria and her family prefer not to be on the internet. This doesn’t mean they weren’t included! You’ll just have to come to my house to see…
