Crap Happens ... Wallowing Is Optional by Katie Russell
Does moving from the city to the country sound like a dream come true? Getting away from the eight-to-five workaday rut has its appeal, but that wasn't Cindy's motivation. At the age of 53, she married a dairy farmer. Since her new husband wouldn't move his cows to Charlotte, Cindy gathered her belongings, sold her house, and relocated to her husband's dairy farm near King, North Carolina. Becoming a farm hand was not on Cindy's to-do list. Rather, she settled into the familiar role of homemaker, got acquainted with her new family, and found out that cats and kittens were more entertaining than Saturday morning cartoons. It wasn't long, however, before Cindy began to feel like she was living in an alternate universe. Everything was strange and unfamiliar. Nothing fit into her ideal of a neat and orderly world. She was definitely out of her comfort zone, and it wasn't long before she found her attitude becoming as smelly as the farm. Crap Happens.Wallowing Is Optional is Cindy Keiger's inspirational memoir of her first eleven years on the dairy farm. You don't need any farm experience to appreciate her goofy, sad, and crazy stories (all too true), because stuff and nonsense happens to everyone. Join her in finding ways to reclaim peace and joy in the midst of life's problems and frustrations.
Originally from Minnesota, Cindy Keiger moved to North Carolina more than twenty years ago and has been working on her southern accent ever since. Living in Haiti and participating in various mission trips over the years were good preparation for life on a dairy farm. Reading and writing are two of Cindy's favorite pastimes. Her words, whether spoken or written, are a source of encouragement, wisdom, and humor.
