Hi! I'm Terry!
I'm living a wonderful
life in rural Indiana
with my husband of
31 years.... the mother to 4 grown children, mother-in-
law to 4, and Gramaw to
2 precious grandsons!
I love it out here in the country, but I'm not really into the "country girl" lifestyle, so I consider myself to be a Not-Quite-Country Girl!
I started this website in July 2008 as a way of
keeping my children, who are scattered hither and yon, up with what's happening back on our 40-acre farm. It's turned out to be more fun than I even imagined...an opportunity for me to share my love for photography and ramble on about my ordinary life.
God has richly blessed me!
Welcome to my Not-Quite-Country world!

LETTER TO MY SERVICE TECHNICIAN
Dear Mr. Service Technician,
WHERE ARE YOU???
I have been patient. Very patient.
My patience is running very, very thin and is quickly giving way to extreme annoyance.
When you installed my brand new range hood 5 weeks ago, I went through the same frustrating sequence of events I'm experiencing now.
You gave me an installation date, which I rearranged my plans to accommodate.
You called to reschedule to a different day, which caused me to have to re-rearrange my day's schedule.
You said you'd call the evening before with a "window of time" when you would be here.
You did not call.
On the scheduled day, I skipped my beloved morning Y class so I'd be home when you called and came, but you did neither. When I phoned you to find out what-the-heck was up, you assured me that I was on the schedule for the day and you'd be here before 5 pm.
Apparently my "window of time" was 6 hours long. I do not call that a "window." I call that a "wall," an entire wasted day.
You (FINALLY) got here at 4:50. Of course, for those 6 hours I couldn't go anywhere or even step outside the cabin for fear I'd miss your call. I couldn't take a shower and I had to make my toilet breaks quick so you wouldn't arrive at an inopportune time.
I realize it wasn't your fault that the KitchenAid factory failed to include a critical part of the range hood in the package and you had to order said part and plan to come back out to finish the installation.
But... here I am again, 5 weeks later, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting....
You were supposed to come on Thursday, which I rearranged my plans to accommodate.
You called to reschedule to today, which caused me to have to re-rearrange my day's schedule.
You said you'd call last evening with a "window of time" when you would be here.
You did not call.
This morning, I skipped my beloved morning Y class so I'd be home when you called and came, but you haven't yet shown up. When I phoned you to find out what-the-heck was up, you assured me that I was on the schedule for today and that you'd call me RIGHT BACK with an estimated time of arrival. That was half an hour ago and you still haven't called.
The length of my "window of time" is yet to be determined, but I can tell you that I am not going to be a happy girl if it is again 6 hours long.
WHERE ARE YOU??????
I've got a life to lead that does not include sitting around waiting for you to decide to show up.
I do believe extreme annoyance has definitely set in.
Impatiently awaiting your arrival,
Your VERY ANNOYED Customer
