Welcome to my auction page!
Hello from North Dakota~ Thank you for taking the time to visit my "ME" page. I am a farm/ranch wife living 40 miles from the great city of Minot. I grew up the daughter of two wonderful parents who are hard-working grain farmers. I went to a small country school and graduated from high school with a class of 12 students. I was married at 18, and two months later, I started working at our local small town bank where I worked for the "best boss in the world". Over 10 years later I decided to stay at home and work side-by-side my husband, where we homesteaded our farm/ranch and raise purebred Charolais cattle. Here we can enjoy the sunrises, the wide open spaces, the sight of our land greening each spring, and all those beautiful golden wheat fields in the late summer. In farming and ranching, despite its hardships and disappointments...I do believe that it is the most honest and honorable way a person can spend their days on earth. I believe my children have been taught values on the farm that will last a lifetime and could not have been learned in any other way.

And speaking of my children...my husband and I have 4, (a total of 6 years apart) and they are: Robyn, Ryan, Randy and Rod. Robyn, is married to a wonderful guy named Shane who is a Tech Sgt. in the US Air Force stationed at Minot Air Force Base. Shane and Robyn have blessed us with four adorable grandchildren: Aliyah, Sierra, and twin sons Matthew & Sawyer. Our son Ryan graduated from NDSU-Fargo and obtained his Manufacturing Engineering degree. He works at Bobcat in Bismarck. He also has a Commercial-Multi-Engine pilots license, and is currently building his own private RV-7 aircraft. Ryan is married to a wonderful lady, Marlys who is a product design engineer at Bobcat in Bismarck and they have a handsome son named Carter James born on 2-26-09. Randy (our middle son, a 1999 ND Scholar) graduated from NDSU-Fargo with a degree in Accounting. He previously worked at the State Auditor's Office in Bismarck and now works on the farm and ranch where he has started a small herd of quality purebred black angus cows. Rod (our youngest son) was proud to have served with the US Army, based at Ft. Carson, Colorado for 5 years. He was with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment and served from April, 2003 to March 2004 in Iraq. He then again served in Iraq from March, 2005 to March, 2006. Rod received "SOLDIER OF THE YEAR" on October 12th, 2004 at Fort Carson, CO. After his service with the Army, Rod joined the North Dakota National Guard and attended NDSU in Fargo. He then worked for H & P, an oil drilling company here in North Dakota, and is now back in college studying criminal justice.

Well, besides the farming, ranching, kids, and our adorable grandchildren, comes EBAY. I started with eBay in January of 1998, and I believe that all of my customers should be satisfied with their purchases. A lot of my customers have purchased from me many times, and I have made many new friends. I have been honored to be featured in 3 books by the well known author Marsha Collier. They are, Starting an eBay Business for Dummies, editions 1 & 2, where I was featured as 1 of 10 successful eBay sellers, and Santa Shops on eBay. In this book she featured my eBay store, along with other eBay stores. It has lots and lots of great shopping ideas for Christmas and I loved the book!
