A letter from Danny and Joy...

Dear Friends,
We have developed many friendships through the years and we always enjoy sharing a little bit about the lives of our family members. We are all doing well. Curtis and Sarah are busy raising Miriam and Maggie, now 3 and 1 year old, and Joni and Mike are active at work and church. We are thankful that Danae’s Marine husband, Andy, returned home safely from Iraq and they are making their home in Twenty-Nine Palms, CA. Danny is busy with his work for Iowa Telecom and serving as Chairman of the Board for Iowa Family Policy Center. He and Joy are pleased to open the farm to your family for the 19th year. All of us are working on the farm in some way so it is ready for you to come and visit!
As we reflect over the year and all that is happening in our country and in Iowa, we know many have faced economic difficulties and problems, serious illness or even the loss of someone very special. The time spent with family and friends becomes even more precious and meaningful. In the book Let’s Make a Memory, James and Shirley Dobson write, “Special moments don’t just happen: they have to be planned on purpose! In this hectic world when the pace at which we all live is so frantic, we as families must make a covenant with each other to make time for simple things.” We are hoping that you will find some simple pleasures and special moments on our farm that will add to your memories and enrich your lives.
Sincerely,
Danny and Joy
