On a potato field, high on a hill, a family of 7, Larry, Nita, Debbie, Steve, Darlene, Doreen and Donna built a house. In a short time, with the help of many, all were ready to move in, and than it became our "HOME".

A lot of hammering, sawing, banged up fingers, sore muscles and a whole lot of love went into the building.

Now, at this point we needed a name for the farm. Fantasy Farm seemed appropriate. You see, it has always been my dream to have a farm.

We started out slow. First came the horse(Mandy), no barn, just a shed and pasture. We owned only 3 acres at this point, but we had pasture of 25 acres to use. As you can guess, more animals started coming. Goats, sheep, pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, rabbits, pet snakes, raccoon (named Rocky), and more horses, dogs and cats.

We worked hard growing our own veggies and processing our own food. Milked goats for milk, raised many animals for meat and had our own eggs.

Larry was unable to help run the farm, as he was earning a living, driving truck.

As the kids grew, some of the animals disappeared, although you will find many here now.

We purchased 6 more acres and built 2 barns, hen house, and pig shed. We have several horses, as you have seen on the horse page.

We have three cats that are in the house, more than out in the barn. Mama kitty, a gray cat which is named perfectly, as she is now 14 yrs old and still blessing us with 3 litters of beautiful kittens a year. All are given away. Shania is a 2 yr. old black and white cat. She is very lazy. She spends most of her time on my water bed. Twister is a orange cat and very unique. He was born with a neck muscle problem and his head is out of control, so that is how he got his name.

Our heifer, named Suzy, is a 1 yr. old black and white holstein. We got her so that the kids could practice roping, but she has become my pet, follows wherever I go.

Pigs. We have had several, we even had 2 miniature pot bellys named Olive Oyl and Sweet Pea.

Chickens, we still keep at least 1 dozen, used for eggs only. They are able to run free on the farm most of the time. They lay their eggs in their hen house for the most part. They are the heavy breed, "Rhode Island Red."

Our rabbit, John Smith.

We have a gray angora bunny that is strictly a pet. My grandchildren named her this thinking she was a he. She is 2 yrs. old now and very large.

Our dog, Cupid.

She is a black and white Springer Spaniel/Cocker. Her birth date is Feb. 14, 1999. This is how she got her name. A very good puppy, she loves to be outside whenever I am, and enjoys playing with the horses.

Our dog, Tabby.

A rolly polly happy dog. She loves to sled ride with the grandkids. Lays on her back and goes right along side of them. It is really funny to watch. A very good dog , she will let the kids do almost anything with her. She was 3 in October, is a Keeshhound/Shepherd.
