Hey There!

I grew up on a farm outside of Shelbina, a small rural town in Shelby County, Missouri. Fast forward through life and forty-one years of marriage to find I have been blessed with two daughters and two grandchildren. I have chased those grandchildren to Columbia, Missouri. Imagine getting used to living in town- the rules, and the lack of space and privacy after growing up in the country. Well, sometimes the tensions created can be exciting. And, being old enough to laugh at myself, I seldom hesitate to share the humorous situations I find myself in. I do have a serious side and share some of those thoughts as well. By the way, my name is Silas, "man of the forest" or "lover of words," you can decide which!
