For some 25 years we as a Family Group, were Full Time Commercial Apple Orchardists.  During that time period we also raised a variety of farm animals in a Family Ranch setting as well. From our personal experiences, we originally created this Web Site Branch starting in the early 1990's, with a focus primarily on EDUCATIONAL CONTENT & FUN concerning our various activities on the Ranch!
     With this in mind we continue to make this Area of the Web Site totally User Friendly, Interesting, and G–Rated, so that anyone will feel comfortable in here.
     We are continuing the process of doing a major overhaul of this Area of the Web Site, starting mid 2007.  We are currently adding some New Sections, while deleting others that were here for many years, but no longer capture your interest or ours.
     The Newest Sections will have Colorful Buttons to get you on your way to view their hopefully enjoyable contents.  
     Since we no longer have the Ranch in Washington State, and are now fully retired and living in North Carolina, several of the areas relating to our Orcharding Years that were on the Site have been deleted, while a few that still are of interest to us, and you all remain.  Those older sections, which utilize Buttons with the Apple Logo, will be reworked, revised, and added to, in order to bring them up to date in the coming months.     
     For each Area shown below we will show when Updates and/Additions were made within their respective Pages, with the Date Shown in Bold Maroon Numbers.  We have the following Areas of Interest available for your viewing pleasure at this time:

	- This section features Photo/Essays, that will be added to as subjects present themselves... May 2010
	- This section will feature great looking photos that Group Members have taken over the years, for your viewing pleasure...  7/24/08
