Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl

I have ENJOYED this blog that I ran across because the 'Name' of it caught my eye.
"Confessions of a Counterfeit Farm Girl".
She is like my SISTER, if I had one. I grew up in S.Calif, went to the University of Nebr, married a Ranchers son and I have been rural ever since....I really relate to her stories and perspective.
Her writings crack me up...love the Girl's Guide to Farm Speak, of which I could have a ton of fun adding to....
Bloggers often say, "I could write a book, but I blog instead", well, her blog is being made into a book!!! How cool is that!! Not your typical blog, grab a cup of coffee and settle in for a good read!
