I grew up in a small farming town of Holstein, Ia. After graduation and Beauty college, I re-located to city life in Des Moines, Ia. I met my husband through a co-worker whose husband also worked at the Firestone Tire plant where my husband was employed for 32 years.My husband served 4 yrs in the Navy prior to his working at the tire plant.
We married in 1988 and have two daughters.
When my sister and her fiancee bought property on a mountaintop in Mountain View, AR we visited the area and decided to purchase property here as well. We fell in love with the beauty of the location and were fortunate to find property with gorgeous, mountaintop views! We moved here in 2004.Our daughters were just going into high school. As a result, it turned out to be a great transition for our family.
We started our Cottage rental in the fall of 2012. My husband decided to make use of the goose neck trailer we had and transformed it into the Tiny house on the mountaintop! My husband is the master of carpentry skills and landscaping. All the hard work that went into creating the place we call "Home " is credited to my husband's vision and talent.
