The Journal of Plymouth Rock Ranch

We were given family tickets to the last night of the San Antonio Symphony by a customer.  What a special treat!  We didn’t book any work for our special day.  We had a leisurely morning at home getting a few necessary things done.  Then we headed to town where we went out to dinner at [...]

Our family celebrated two birthdays in May.  The first was Ashley’s

The second was Rick’s.

The cake tells how old he turned : )

Now for a story.  There once was a daddy named Rick.  He started a new job that required him to shave off his beard.  You see, beards don’t allow safety masks to fit [...]

Ashley celebrated her 26th birthday!
This past year was an action packed year for Ashley.  Last May, Ashley and Callan alternated every 6 weeks in California to care for my bedridden grandmother.  Ashley was first to travel to California and spent her 25th birthday there with long time friends helping to make her birthday a special [...]

At the beginning of the year, our family sat down and talked about some goals for 2009.  One of them was to get a milk cow.  Check.  Milk cow purchased.  Milk cow delivered bull calf.  Milk cow provides milk.  Fresh milk, hot chocolate and pudding in the cooler months,  ice cream and yogurt making in [...]

We came to an understanding with our Jersey, Phebie.   We feed her, she gives US the milk.  Or, so at least we thought we’d come to an understanding with Phebie.

Enter Thief #1:  DeCalf, Phebie’s 2 month old bull calf.  He learned how to sneak drinks through the fence, of course, with Phebie’s help.
We moved Phebie [...]

Looking back over the last 14 months since Rick was laid off from his unmanned air vehicle composite shop manager’s job, we are so thankful for the Lord’s hand of provision.  We have had times of plenty and times of leanness.  Times of thankfulness and times of dependent prayer for provision.  Times of exhaustion from [...]

Alpine goats are much more of a mountain goat than Nubians.  Makes sense as Alpines are from the Alps and Nubians are from Africa.
Our Nubians seem to like their feet on the ground and their nose in a treat.  They are people friendly and always looking for lovings.  The little buckling, who really needs to [...]

Back in April, we questioned President Obama’s claim in Turkey that the U.S. is not a Christian Nation.
On May 6, 2009, Representative Randy Forbes had this to say about our Judeo-Christian Nation’s heritage:

Thank you, Representative Forbes, for standing up to President Obama’s incorrect statement and boldly proclaiming the truth about our Nation’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

The guys have been having to get up at 5 a.m. and be out of the tent by 5:45 a.m. to get to their jobs.  This makes our usual breakfast mode of operations of oatmeal or homegrown eggs obsolete for them.  We’ve tried to have easy-to-grab breakfasts ready for them, but we’re having a hard [...]

Because we have many children, we are often asked if we are Catholic or Mormon.  We always respond, “No, we are Reformed Baptist.”  Then the questioner becomes puzzled and they respond that they know what a Baptist is but they aren’t familiar with what Reformed means.
In this video, R.C. Sproul Sr. explains the root of [...]

Though I had not intended to go into our small little town today, I found myself there, none-the-less.
Just before I headed out for town, a friend called and in the course of our conversation she told me her husband, a helicopter EMT, was working at the base in our little town today.  Since I was [...]
