About Me
Howdy there! My name is Racheal and I'm number two in a family of three girls. I was homeschooled from birth through high school in a military home (my father served in the Army for 22 years). Since retiring, we have lived in close proximity to my grandparents and for the past several years I have undertaken to be Grandpa's 'physical therapist'. Until recently, I generally worked with him every day, except for the Lord's Day. That has ended at this point because my older sister and I have moved in with our Granddaddy while the rest of the family continues the transitory lifestyle we have.
I am in training to be a godly wife and mother. I am a Reformed Presbyterian...and as you will quickly discover, a staunch Southern Patriot (that has a double meaning).
I enjoy playing music, either by myself or with my sisters. I play the guitar (classical and chords), piano, and mandolin. I have recently started playing the cello. I also have a banjo which I can play (poorly), a trumpet which I play even worse, a recorder (otherwise known as a flutophone), a couple of harmonicas, and I can play the organ some.
I also enjoy ranching (I love cows and I have a horse), gardening, and being outside in general (unless it is really humid). Writing is another interest of mine (and now, so is blogging). I have two novels in the works...I wonder if either one of them will ever get finished (one is about Florida cowhunters during the 1870's and the other is set in Reconstruction South Carolina). I like creative writing and I would like to be able to write screenplays and scripts someday...which brings me to my next interest--filmmaking. (I have another site for my stories--"Stories by Racheal".)
Filmmaking is something that I am attempting to get my foot in. At present I am working on a documentary (and have a second in the quay). My documentary is about the Cow Cavalry, a group of Confederate soldiers unique to Florida (and no, they didn't ride cows!)
I like to say that gunpowder runs in our viens...I love to shoot even though I am not the best shot in the house...that honor goes to Daddy (of course) and then to one of the other girls. I simply just like to shoot for the fun of it (I do like to be accurate at the same time though.) However, one of my favorite things is good food, even though I'm pretty weak in the kitchen (cooking-wise). I don't dislike cooking, I just don't have enough time under my belt. (However, to be honest, I do not like cooking when I'm really hungry... because I can't think.)
Sit back and have yourself a merry laugh as you read my 'rambles'; I'll be quite pleased if you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!
