My name is Jennifer and I am currently living in my
real life reality show, based on my Green Acres theory. Raised all my life in
the suburbs of San Antonio, I was transplanted way past my comfort zone by my
loving husband. In time, I stopped complaining (as much) and realized that our
family benefitted from moving to BFE. I
have been adjusting to country life and learning to appreciate the
tranquility that the Texas Hill Country offers. Our property is not as rural as the farm Zsa Zsa Gabor was subjected to, although I do own a pair of stylish mud boots,
and have occasionally walked a pig or two. (Surprisingly, no leashes are
involved BTW.) Despite all the glamorous temptation, I am still a city girl at
heart.
Check out my very first post, Going Up
and see how I started.

Writing has been my anchor
since I was young. But with raising three kids I focused on living my life as a
mom, a wife, and working an 8 to 5 job in the Business world. This meant
stowing away the poetry, stories and parenthood memoirs until the time was
right. I am a determined realist and recently admitted (out loud) that I
needed to pursue my goals for myself…..while I still had my sanity. So in
December 2013, I decided to dive head first into my dream and knew the blogging
world would be a good place to start. I began
planning Pen, Paper & Parenthood, which I launched in
January 2014.

Well, gee, Jennifer, I guess that shows how much I know (or have forgotten) about raising pigs. It has been a few years....I would have just taken a hammer and chopped up the ice in the trough. Maybe piggies don't like ice water, though. I just can't remember. Anyway, if you married into the Preiss family, you just had to do these things. All I can say to you is, "Excellent work!" Your blog is wonderful! A life's love and work makes for interesting reading. Keep those rubber boots handy cause you've got several more years of swine rearing to do also. And that's always good for a laugh...Love, Aunt Karon
