RANCH PROJECTS & HOW-TO's
Many web sites focus on one particular topic such as gardening or personal finances or wood working projects. However, we all know that life is about more than one topic. We are all tying to figure out the best ways to do things in multiple areas of our lives and how we try to align these things with our worldviews.
So, we decided to include many topical areas of our lives to share with others. After 6+ decades we’ve learned and grown a lot. And, we’re finally feeling like our life choices are starting to align and reflect our worldview more consistently.
Keep in mind that there are some topics which reflect our high elevation environment (e.g. gardening). Other topics are more general (e.g. wood working projects).
If you are curious about a how we approach a specific topic please contact us and let us know.
