the hunter's wife
Boot Scootin’ Crawdads
Although I have spent all my married life in the country, when I was growing up my family lived close to town in a subdivision. I have two sisters and it’s very safe to say that none of us were very in-tune with nature, but...

Hi, my name is Jeanne Vaughn, a Tennessean born and raised and as the saying goes – I’m as southern as sweet tea. I live on our farm with my husband, my dog, three horses, three hunting dogs, my son and his family on our left and our daughter and her dog on our right.
I ‘m retired from my office management job at our family construction company, and I ‘m now playing catch-up on the many interests I put on hold during my working and child raising years.
My many interests include: spending time with family and friends, writing, painting, decorating, horseback riding, gardening, photography, reading, snow skiing, hiking, biking and music.
I have been told that I am a good storyteller and have received loving encouragement to start this blog and tell my stories.
Because my husband is an avid hunter, I have the hunter’s wife stories; we travel quite a bit so there are my travel and adventure stories; then there are my crazy childhood and teen year stories; and of course, a mother always has stories about her kids and grandkids.
Everybody has stories to tell, these are mine; I hope they bring a smile and maybe a bit of laughter to your day.
