As a child and growing up on our family farm in Alabama, I experienced some of the best times of my life.

For instance, I learned to drive a jeep when I was about ten. I loved to splash through the mud puddles and give the jeep another gear.  Farm life is really the roots of our country and my life.  I had the opportunity to learn management at the early age of thirteen.  Up at five in the morning and out to the job.  My father believed that my sister and I should always be managers of our own.  I learned many lessons of what I could do and not do. 

I was lucky, I started at the bottom to learn and each summer I would graduate to a better position.  I was paid $3.00 a day and could not spend it because it went into my college education.  My jobs were farm jobs and not in the air conditioned office.  However, I did make it to the office by the time I was ready for college.  At that time, women did not normally go for a business degree, but my father thought it would be best if I did.  I sat in the University of Alabama and was the only girl in my class on many occasions. 

I look back today and reflect on what farm life taught me and what good work ethics my parents gave me. I went to the city and lived the metropolitan life for twenty years. My family farm is still beautiful as ever but I came back to farm life and the equestrian life in Florida and truly found myself again.  I now have an equestrian farm that is a breeding farm. I manage it, and I manage my equestrian real estate career at the same time. 

I have always loved architecture so when we were building the farm, I thought about an Inn that I had seen in New England and here is what I came up with when it was finished. Sunflower is for sale $2,950,000
