Well...... it's been a month since Beth Cazier Smith passed. We are finally getting into some sort of routine without her. It's been a little disconcerting. Things that I would normally discuss with her that I can't now. Those things throw me off a bit. We ALWAYS talked about spending plans and...
Our loving Wife, Mother, Daughter, Aunt, and friend, Elizabeth Ann Cazier Smith passed away peacefully in her home at about 7:30 PM on June 23, 2014 after a nearly 12 year fight against Breast Cancer. We, the family, thank everyone for their support for Beth and our family during this time, and...

Beth continues to decline. The latest changes to her...
We are hatching our own. She is getting excited. We are saving up for the first batch of the season, the trial run....
