The Journal of Plymouth Rock Ranch

This past week there has been some major spring cleaning and organizing happening at PRR. The boys have tackled most of the outside areas and the shop shed. Us girls have been working on the trailer, tent, around the laundry shed and animal pens and are now in the process of ridding our [...]

Last weekend Rick and I celebrated our 28th Anniversary. I really can’t wrap my mind around that one, but the numbers say it’s true.
We try to get away for a 3 day weekend on our anniversary. Sometimes it works out and other times it doesn’t. This year it did. Rick asked [...]

The Little Beaver Auger was the tool the guys used when they actually hit some dirt as the rock drill doesn’t do well in anything but rock.

Galilee’s Contribution
The rock has this way of dulling the rock drill bit. The boys wanted to go buy another one, but the nearest one [...]

Should our children be “salt and light” in the public school system of increasing immoral indoctrination? Or should we follow the directive of Deuteronomy 6?
“And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit [...]

Last night, Harrison asked me to draw a tree house for him.  It soon turned into a picture of little boys playing cowboys and Indians, in and around the tree house.  I tried to fit a girl in there somewhere.  Harrison wasn’t very thrilled with that idea.  I explained that he needed to protect and [...]

Mom and Dad, today is your 28th wedding anniversary.  Today, you are 10 children and 2 grandchildren richer than you were 28 years ago.  You have sacrificed much to be good stewards of the heavenly riches that have been given to you.
I would like to thank you for the sacrifices that you have made [...]

Thursday night held more excitement for the Seargeants here at Plymouth Rock Ranch. Mom was awakened at 12:30 in the morning by the sound of numerous pigs traipsing around our trailer and a very scared, barking, Darby. We were expecting the pigs to return and were more prepared this time around.
What we weren’t [...]

Galilee has been going to the fence job site with the boys and I for some one-on-one time and schooling with Mom.  The weather has been perfect for this, not too hot and not too cold.  We can sit in the truck or set up a couple of chairs outside and spend time with her [...]

If you’ve been reading the blog recently, you have read about our fence job and the rock drilling to be able to get fence posts and t-posts into the ground.
The guys did, finally, get both of the stuck rock drill shafts out of the ground. It took 2 more hours on Saturday morning to [...]

Tonight, right after posting on Darby, the Plymouth Rock Ranch Hound, Darby took off a barking. It was an unusual bark, causing me to take notice, sorta like the bark when she discovered a snake. Very distinct.
She then bounded up onto the deck between the tent and trailer as if she was being [...]

Darby is our Plymouth Rock Ranch Hound that God so graciously gave us through the San Antonio Animal Shelter. She’s really Ryker’s dog, as he picked her and she picked him, but we all claim her. She’s the best dog we could hope to have. We *think* she is really [...]

This week has been filled with influenza recuperation and getting backed-up work due to sickness done. The laundry pile was/is huge and the boys’ work schedule full.
We still have lots of coughing going on here ~ especially if we all start to laugh ~ let the coughing fits commence! But, we are finally [...]

Forty-Eight years ago today, my dad married my mom. They have been blessed with 5 children, 21 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren, to date.
My dad provided for his family by auctioneering at the Los Angeles Auto Auction for twenty-something years, in addition to founding his own used car lot, a finance company, and spec building [...]

Seventy years ago today, Mathew Carlon wed Luella Hiteman. They were blessed with one child, my father. My grandfather is now 94 years old and my grandmother is now 90. They’ve had good times and bad, easy times and hard, fun times and not-so-fun times. God has blessed them with long [...]

It’s about time, I know. We’re finally getting around to posting some of Cody & Lucy’s Wedding photos.  I guess we have to get sick and slow down a little to catch up on all those “little” details of life.  Enjoy!
