Debbie's Story

Life in 2011 We now have two grandchildren...both from our son Chris and his wife, Jenny. Alexandria is 5 and Samuel was born in November! Alex is looking forward to the summer rodeo where she will once again compete in mutton-busting...hopefully with her getting first place like she did last year! She also competes at fun shows for barrels, however, her horse does them at a walk or slow trot with her! Our other son, Matthew, and his wife, MiSook, are currently finishing their Masters in Missouri before going back to live in S. Korea next year. Bruce and I are still keeping busy with the farm, training horses, 4-H, petting zoos and riding!. We had our first "mini-mule" born this summer and she's doing great, and we've already got horses booked for spring for training...so hopefully it'll be another great year. By the way, anyone looking to buy a horse or pony? Bruce and I will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary in February....we were laughing at how we're only 15 years away from our 50th....gee, who'd of thought?! 2021 Update Wow, it's been 10 years! Bruce and I just celebrated our 45th Anniversary, we now have 3 grandkids...Alex...Expand for more
is now 15, Sam is 10 and Johan is 6. Chris, Jenny, Alex and Sam live nearby, but Matt, MiSook and Johan are living in Seoul, S. Korea. Normally get to see them every year or so, but with the pandemic it's all by Facetime for now. Last week after taking Alex on a practice drive, I came home and told Bruce: "Wow, Alex is the same age as I was when I met you!" Why did 15 seem so much older then???? Bruce is officially retired from his paying job, but is keeping busy with the farm, fix ups, riding lessons, horse training and other "fun stuff". I worked with the Census this past year...had fun and met a lot of very nice people. Been a year since I've taken our dogs, Sparky and Bella, to the nursing home, hoping to get back to doing that in a few weeks after I get my second Covid shot. Sparky has cancer and I'm hoping she'll last long enough to at least say goodbye to her friends there. Bella is 3 and after shattering her hindleg, (and having it repaired), she has gotten her AKC Championship and will hopefully be bred sometime this year. Stay safe and healthy and if you want to get in touch, look me up on Facebook. Debbie Benson Wisconsin Rapids, WI
