This week Jessie convinces her parents to sit down with her and talk about what 40 years of marriage looks like, what her mom thought when her dad brought her to the ranch when there was still party lines and how her dad's night in county jail gave him clarity on the direction of his life. 

Plus, Jessie reads this week's column. Read it yourself  in Forum Communication's newspapers across the region or on her website at www.veederranch.com
