This would be us!  This is Rick and Tracie completely relaxed, at ease and without a care in the world other than the one that is taking the picture, our 4 year old grandgirl.  We have 4 grandgirls, all different in their personalities, all beautiful and everyone of them has our heart in the palm of their hands.

Rick is known to his family as Rick, pop and papa. He is known to others as Pastor Rick.  There is no distinction however in Rick, no matter what the name, as the man God has called him to be.
Rick loves to read, mostly he reads anything, but he loves history, current events and of course anything that will further his knowledge of the things of God, the Bible, his ability to run a church affectively, etc. He has a great concern of our world, its resources, and is actively pursuing recycling actions and knowledge. Occasionally he will read fiction just to be reading for no reason but to escape reality. (A normal thing we all do)  He also loves to garden; vegetables, fruits, herbs mostly. This past spring he grew some great tomatoes, carrots, peppers, pumpkins, watermelons and Cantaloupe; best watermelon I ever had. I’m a huge watermelon fan. This fall he is trying his hand at lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and other things i can’t remember.  Rick has been researching ways to harvest rainwater and currently is doing so with materials recycled from our garage and kitchen areas.

Tracie…that would be me…likes puzzles, mostly jigsaw but in the past I worked a lot of crosswords. I plan to pick that up again because I believe it keeps the mind in shape; like an exercise for the mind. I also enjoy reading, but mostly i read fiction, mystery usually. I really enjoy working on our websites, although I’ve got a lot to learn. I like to lead Bible Studies at church and being Rick’s side-kick is an awesome job!  God has blessed us indeed!   I was a nurse for a good 15 years before I retired. I loved nursing and miss it to this day. My involvement in ministry is really what makes me tick. I believe all that I do is because of my beliefs, including recycling, conservation, etc. My interest in recycling was spurned from Rick’s interest, along with a realization of all that is wasted. I just finally made the decision that I would not be a waster anymore.

Now that you know a little more about us, we hope you’ll stick around and join us in turning green today!
