Evelyn's Story

Evelyn's schools include Mt. Diablo High School. Let's see - Married at 22. had 3 incredible children (2 boys and 1 girl) divorced in 1996, met and loved some very nice people, then found the love of my life at 41. Moved to Paris, TX with him in 2005 and have never looked back. We have 10 acres just outside of town. I have my horses and my garden and various other animals. I work as an accountant for a local construction company (small town, not many jobs around, I am happy to have this one) and sell at the local farmer's market. My daughter just opened a therapeutic riding center for people with special needs call Tailored Rides Equine Assisted Therapy. She is using our property and my horses and it's wonderful to have her here. Both my boys still live in California and I don't see them nearly as often as I would like to. My youngest son has two young daughters - making me a grandmother twice over. Yikes! Texas has been quite an adjustment from California. The county I live in is over 82% white and until 2010 was a dry county. (That's right we couldn't buy beer, wine or liquor unless we drove to the county line.)

I hate (yes the word is HATE) the elected officials in this state, I am constantly embarrassed by the headlines about Texas, and I am working one small vote and voice at a time to change things here, because I love living in the country, I love my quiet life out here. I love coming home from work and seeing the horses in the pasture, being able to just hop on bareback and take a short ride around the farm. I love helping people at the farmer's market discover the value of real food. I love sitting in the evening and watching my chickens and guineas head to roost. I love raising my own food, and while it's hard to kill my chickens and pigs, I don't feel guilty about it. I wrote a book called "Swinehearted - Memoir for a Meat Pig" about the experience of raising my first pig for home slaughter, because so many people ask me how/why I do it. AND I love the weather out here. I love the thunderstorms, the pounding rain, the ice storms, the few inches of snow and the dog days of summer with it's 105 degree heat. It's exciting and exhilarating watching mother nature at work. I've been lucky to create a life I enjoy. It's a very simple life, one full of love and joy and one I'm proud to be living.
