So, I have a funny little story about my niece, Independence (Indie). Indie’s parents are my brother, Bubba, and his wife, Maria. If you know my brother, also known as The Freedom Rock® Artist, you know we are pretty close but give each other a ton of crap! Well, recently, Maria texted me the following conversation between Bubba and my niece, Indie, as they were painting little butterfly crafts. Bubba had turned the paint around so it was closer to himself and Indie said, “Daddy you don’t have to turn the paint for yourself, use the paint you got and I will give you some more when you need it.” Bubba then replies, “Oh my gosh, I feel like I’m sitting at the table with Heidi again!” Maria then added “Yeah there’s a new Heidi in town!” with Bubba’s final comment, “It’s a Maria/Heidi hybrid and it’s scary!” My dear brother could only be so lucky! Indie and I are not bossy, we just have fantastic leadership skills! Ha Ha That being said, most people know my brother is currently trying to paint a patriotic rock in each of Iowa’s 99 counties called The Freedom Rock® Tour. Currently, he has completed 41 and only has 58 to go. Now, he has just recently announced The 50 State Freedom Rock® Tour! It will run parallel with the Iowa Freedom Rock® Tour with Bubba continuing to work in Iowa in the warmer months. Iowans need not worry, he plans to keep his pace of 10-12 finished each year. Check out their website for additional information www.thefreedomrock.com. As much as my sister, Mandi, and I tease Golden Boy (aka Bubba) we are pretty proud of our brother! My kids are attending a private Catholic school this year and absolutely love it, even though we are Lutheran. They both love religion class and Taylor has become quite the enforcer of what everyone is giving up for Lent this year. She first informed us that we can’t JUST give up something we don’t like because that doesn’t count, so she took it upon herself to “assist” us all in what we should give up. Keep in mind, Taylor just turned seven a couple weeks ago, so she decided candy was her “important” thing to give up. She also reasoned that she could still have brownies because those didn’t actually come in a wrapper like her favorite KitKat’s or M&M’s. Now, Tucker’s might be a little harder, he says he is giving up getting seconds at the dinner table. Matt jokes that he didn’t give up having third and fourth helpings though! Love them both and it makes me happy watching them discover their own thoughts on God and religion. Please remember to keep our military and our nation in your prayers! Travel safe to all the spring sales and shows! God Bless, Heidi Sorensen Rohrig 661-900-6004 heidi@livestockplusinc.com Check out our BLOG for sale results! www.livestockplusinc.com
