Thank you for the heart...... I'm new...

[helmedon1974]

I feel like a bit of a bum
I've been reading an responding to y'all for a while now and never observed the courtesy of introducing myself to you all.
I'm a 44 year old former Marine, artist, musician, husband of 20 years and father of 3. I live in northern Michigan on 10 acres with my family and 2 Australian Shepherds, Mika and Dennis. We breed chickens, geese, ducks, turkeys and pigeons. We were breeding goats but our last momma died this fall.
I'm a moderate Liberal and proud of it. Above and beyond party.
