was reminiscent of the old song of selling your soul to the company
store. Her mother was a waitress who had worked outside the farm since
she was thirteen years old. Both parents were children of the Great
Depression. The family moving often to follow her father’s work lived
in many places with no modern conveniences. Sally learned to love the
great outdoors from a very early age, often following her dog along the
bear paths. She is the youngest of three children, having two older
brothers.
Sally met and married her husband in Colorado. She and
her husband reared ten children and now enjoy their secluded time
together. Sally and her family lived throughout various parts of the
country over the years including a farm in Missouri in the 1980’s,
Iowa, Virginia, Idaho, and Washington.
Her talents grew as she learned the various arts of farm life and
colonial crafts. These have included sewing, tanning deer and elk
hides, leather work, drying and canning various fruits and vegetables,
cheese making, soap and candle making, quilting, knitting, crocheting,
embroidering, beading and jewelry making, Indian crafts like Mandela’s
and Dream Catchers, raising farm animals, butchering various wild and
