They chose to live away from the smog and stars of Los Angeles. Today, their daughter lives in California but looks back east to home.
Growing up on a farm in Virginia with my family (and five dogs, many horses, tons of chickens, a few fish and even a hedgehog), I was a true tomboy. I rode horses bareback through the woods, caught crawfish in the creek, collected eggs from the chickens every day and helped my dad crack the ice out of the horses’ frozen water buckets.
